Porous anatase TiO2 nanofibres synthesized with camphene as a pore-creating agent demonstrated excellent electrochemical performance in lithium-ion batteries, showing higher specific surface area, initial discharge specific capacity, cycle performance, and rate performance compared to those without camphene. The improvement in electrochemical performance was attributed to low charge transfer resistance and a larger transportation rate of Li+ due to the higher specific surface area obtained.
Anatase titanium dioxide is considered a promising anode material for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), however its application is restricted due to the poor Li+ transport. Nano-crystallization and pore creation are regarded as two effective strategies for solving the above shortcomings. This study aims to realize the combination of the two strategies by synthesizing porous anatase TiO2 nanofibres by electrospinning with camphene as the pore-creating agent. Porous anatase TiO2 nanofibres as anode materials for LIBs demonstrated excellent electrochemical performance when a suitable content of camphene was added. The results indicated that a larger specific surface area (72 m(2).g(-1)) was obtained in anatase TiO2 nanofibres with 12 wt.% camphene than in those without camphene (61 m(2).g(-1)). The former exhibited a higher initial discharge specific capacity (518.71/294.99 mAh.g(-1)) than the latter (305.56/114.68 mAh.g(-1)). Moreover, the former demonstrated outstanding cycle performance due to the higher retention rate of 21.7% obtained after 100 cycles. Meanwhile, an excellent rate performance was also achieved due to a larger average discharging specific capacity (58.96 mAh.g(-1)) being when the current density increased from 0.5 C to 10 C and recovered to 0.5 C (145.71 mAh.g(-1)). The improvement in electrochemical performance should be attributed to the low charge transfer resistance (R-ct) and large transportation rate of Li+ resulting from the obtained high specific surface area.
