Mechanical Force‐Driven Growth of Elongated Bending TiO2‐based Nanotubular Materials for Ultrafast Rechargeable Lithium Ion Batteries

A stirring hydrothermal process that enables the formation of elongated bending TiO2–based nanotubes is presented. By making use of its bending nature, the elongated TiO2(B) nanotubular crosslinked-network anode electrode can cycle over 10 000 times in half cells while retaining a relatively high capacity (114 mA h g−1) at an ultra-high rate of 25 C (8.4 A g−1).
