Abstract

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).
