TiO2 nanocages: Fast synthesis, interior functionalization and improved lithium storage properties

Research output: Journal Publications and ReviewsRGC 21 - Publication in refereed journalpeer-review

Abstract

High-quality anatase TiO<sub>2</sub> nanocages with anisotropic shapes, homogeneous shells and tunable sizes can be fabricated by templating against Cu<sub>2</sub>O polyhedra under hydrothermal conditions. The interiors of these TiO<sub>2</sub> nanocages can be functionalized easily with Au nanoparticles. The promising use of these TiO<sub>2</sub> nanocages as an anode material for lithium-ion batteries is also demonstrated. Copyright © 2012 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim.
