title: Facile fabrication of a three-dimensional cross-linking TiO2 nanowire network and its long-term cycling life for lithium storage.
abstract: We describe a simple preparation of amorphous TiO2 nanomaterial through a simple dealloying method with high throughput at room temperature. The as-made TiO2 sample has a unique three-dimensional network structure built by cross-linking nanowires with the diameter of ∼5 nm. As an anode material for Li-ion batteries, the TiO2 product exhibits high capacities and a long cycling life at high rates of 500 and 1000 mA g(-1). In addition, it has a good rate capability. The as-made TiO2 nanowire network shows great application potential as an anode material with the advantages of unique performance and easy preparation.
