Abstract

The delicate control over materials at the nanoscale needs well command over both structures and surface compositions, thereby imparting enhanced performance. Herein, we developed an effective and scalable way for the construction of 2D mesoporous TiO2 nanosheets by using graphene oxides as sacrifice templates. The combination of 2D morphologies and porous structures, can effectively increase the inaccessible surface areas, shorten the ion diffusion path and facilitating the lithium-ion mobility. Moreover, the surface composition of mesoporous TiO2 nanosheets can be rationally tuned through a facile second annealing method, resulting a stable interface between electrodes and electrolyte. Thus, benefiting from structural design and precise compositional modulation, the obtained mesoporous TiO2 nanosheets exhibit promising performance for lithium storage.

Graphical abstract

Here, we developed an effective and scalable way for the construction of 2D mesoporous TiO2 nanosheets. In addition, the mesoporous TiO2 nanosheets show an enhanced lithium storage after the removal of carbonates, demonstrating an effective way for surface engineering.
