TiO2(B) nanowires as an improved anode material for lithium-ion batteries containing LiFePO4 or LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 cathodes and a polymer electrolyte

Rechargeable lithium-ion batteries have been constructed with a TiO2(B) nanowire anode, a get electrolyte, and either a LiFePO4 or LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 cathode. Cycling stability is very good as is rate capability (see figure), with 80% of the low-rate capacity being retained at C/5.
