title: Surface Engineering and Design Strategy for Surface-Amorphized TiO2@Graphene Hybrids for High Power Li-Ion Battery Electrodes.
abstract: Surface amorphizationprovides unprecedented opportunities for altering and tuning material properties. Surface-amorphized TiO2@graphene synthesized using a designed low temperature-phase transformation technique exhibits significantly improved rate capability compared to well-crystallized TiO2@graphene and bare TiO2electrodes. These improvements facilitates lithium-ion transport in both insertion and extraction processes and enhance electrolyte absorption capability.
