Abstract

A study was conducted to demonstrate the preparation of titania nanotubes, with mesoporous walls within anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) membranes and their application in a high rate rechargeable lithium battery. Titania nanotube arrays were fabricated through a drying process, utilizing supercritical carbon dioxide (CO2), after the dissolution of the membranes. These mesoporous titania nanotubes were also investigated as electrode material of rechargeable lithium battery. The structure of these nanotubes was specifically designed, to allow efficient efficient transport of both lithium ions and electrons that are necessary for a high rate rechargeable lithium battery. The mesoporous nature of the titania nanotube array was also confirmed through Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) measurements conducted at 77 K.
