Abstract

This article presents a critical discussion of selected structural aspects of electrochemical Li-insertion into TiO2 (anatase). Recent works are reviewed (almost half of the cited works is from 2010+) with a special attention to the crystal-face-specific phenomena, Raman spectroscopy, and single-crystal and nanocrystalline electrodes. The benefits of isotopic labeling are highlighted for the in-depth understanding of Raman spectra and the Raman spectroelectrochemistry of Li-insertion. The persisting open questions and contradictory issues in the field are discussed too.
