Mesoporous TiO2-B microflowers composed of (1 (1)over-bar 0) facet-exposed nanosheets for fast reversible lithium-ion storage

A new method was developed to synthesize nanosheet-assembled TiO2-B microflowers for Li-ion batteries. Significantly higher electrochemical performance of these microflowers compared to other TiO2-B nanostructures was attributed to their hierarchical microstructure and exposed (1 (1) over bar 0) facets of the individual nanosheets.
