title: Reduced graphene oxide-supported TiO2 fiber bundles with mesostructures as anode materials for lithium-ion batteries.
abstract: Although the synthesis of mesoporous materials is well established, the preparation of TiO2 fiber bundles with mesostructures, highly crystalline walls, and good thermal stability on the RGO nanosheets remains a challenge. Herein, a low-cost and environmentally friendly hydrothermal route for the synthesis of RGO nanosheet-supported anatase TiO2 fiber bundles with dense mesostructures is used. These mesostructured TiO2 -RGO materials are used for investigation of Li-ion insertion properties, which show a reversible capacity of 235 mA h g(-1) at 200 mA g(-1) and 150 mA h g(-1) at 1000 mA g(-1) after 1000 cycles. The higher specific surface area of the new mesostructures and high conductive substrate (RGO nanosheets) result in excellent lithium storage performance, high-rate performance, and strong cycling stability of the TiO2 -RGO composites.
