A Biomineralization Strategy for "Net"-Like Interconnected TiO2 Nanoparticles Conformably Covering Reduced Graphene Oxide with Reversible Interfacial Lithium Storage.


ABSTRACT: A green and simple biomineralization-inspired method to create "net"-like interconnected TiO2 nanoparticles conformably covering reduced graphene oxide (RGO) with high loading density is reported. This method uses polyamine as both the biomineralization agent and linker to manipulate the nucleation, growth, and crystallization of TiO2 nanoparticles on the surface of graphene oxide. The obtained TiO2/RGO composites demonstrate sub-10-nm TiO2 nanoparticles with (001) facets, ultrathin thickness (10-12 nm), and a high surface area of 172 m2 g-1. When used as anode material for lithium ion batteries, the material displayed excellent rate capability and long cycle life; a capacity of 155 mAh g-1 is obtained after 50 cy
