Superior electrode performance of nanostructured mesoporous TiO2 (anatase) through efficient hierarchical mixed conducting networks

An optimized nanostructure design of electrode material for high power, high energy lithium batteries is realized. Highly Li-permeable materials are obtained by introducing hierarchical mixed conducting networks on both nanoscale and microscale levels (see figure). A mesoporous TiO2:RuO2 composite is selected as an example of this new design.
