Natural sepiolite is widely used as an inorganic template to prepare functional nanomaterials. Herein, raw sepiolite and ultrafine TiO2 nanocrystals-decorated sepiolite nanofibers are fabricated by a hydrothermal reaction followed by an annealing process. For Li-storage, the TiO2/sepiolite composites exhibit higher specific capacity and a longer lifespan than raw sepiolite. At a current density of 0.3 A g(-1), the optimized TiO2/sepiolite composites deliver a discharge capacity of 1811 and 618 mAh g(-1) at 1st and 300th cycle, respectively. In addition, the composites show a very stable specific capacity of 100 mAh g(-1) at a current density of 0.1 A g(-1) for Na-storage up to 100 cycles.
