Multifunctional TiO₂ Nanotube-Matrix Composites with Enhanced Photocatalysis and Lithium-Ion Storage Performances.

ABSTRACT: As a multifunctional material, TiO₂ shows excellent performance in catalytic degradation and lithium-ion storage. However, high electron-hole pair recombination, poor conductivity, and low theoretical capacity severely limit the practical application of TiO₂. Herein, TiO₂ nanotube (TiO₂ NT) with a novel double-layer honeycomb structure were prepared by two-step electrochemical anodization. Honeycombed TiO₂ NT arrays possess clean top surfaces and a long-range ordering, which greatly facilitates the preparation of high-performance binary and ternary materials. A binary TiO₂ nanotube@Au nanoparticle (TiO₂ NT@Au NP) composite accompanied by appropriately concentrated and uniformly distributed gold particles was prepa
