A novel and facile in-situ methodology has been developed to prepare well carbon-coated anatase titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles. The hydrolysis of tetrabutyl titanate has been effectively controlled in a collosol of N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone dissolved with polyvinylidene fluoride. The as-resulted carbon-dispersed TiO2 nanoparticles distributed in ranges from 20 to 30 nm in diameter have been obtained with a carbon content of 11.7 wt%. This nanocomposite utilized as anode materials in lithium-ion battery can deliver a high reversible specific capacity of 218 mAh g (1) at the current density of 0.2 C (33.5 mA g (1)), and still exhibit 100 mAh g (1) at 10 C (1.68 A g (1)), illustrating notable high-rate performances for the potential application in fast charge/discharge batteries.
