Lithium Insertion in Nanostructured TiO2(B) ANTHONY G. DYLLA, GRAEME HENKELMAN, AND KEITH J. STEVENSON* Department of Chemistry & Biochemistry, The University of Texas at Austin, Austin, Texas 78712, United States RECEIVED ON JUNE 12, 2012 to become feasible alternatives to current technology, but only if scientists can develop energy storage materialsthat offer high capacity and high rate capabilities. Chemists havestudied anatase, rutile, brookite and TiO2(B) (bronze) in bothbulk and nanostructured forms as potential Li-ion batteryanodes. In most cases, the specific capacity and rate of lithiationand delithiation increases as the materials are nanostructured.
Scientists have explained these enhancements in terms of highersurface areas, shorter Liþ diffusion paths and different surfaceenergies for nanostructured materials allowing for more facilelithiation and delithiation. Of the most studied polymorphs,nanostructured TiO2(B) has the highest capacity with promising high rate capabilities. TiO2(B) is able to accommodate 1 Liþ per Ti,giving a capacity of 335 mAh/g for nanotubular and nanoparticulate TiO2(B). The TiO2(B) polymorph, discovered in 1980 by Marchand andco-workers, has been the focus of many recent studies regarding high power and high capacity anode materials with potential applicationsfor electric vehicles and grid storage. This is due to the material's stability over multiple cycles, safer lithiation potential relative to graphite,reasonable capacity, high rate capability, nontoxicity, and low cost (Bruce, P. G.; Scrosati, B.; Tarascon, J.-M. Nanomaterials for RechargeableLithium Batteries. Angew. Chem., Int. Ed. 2008, 47, 2930"2946). One of the most interesting properties of TiO2(B) is that both bulk andnanostructured forms lithiate and delithiate through a surface redox or pseudocapacitive charging mechanism, giving rise to stable high ratecharge/discharge capabilities in the case of nanostructured TiO2(B). When other polymorphs of TiO2 are nanostructured, they still mainlyintercalate lithium through a bulk diffusion-controlled mechanism. TiO2(B) has a unique open crystal structure and low energy Liþ pathwaysfrom surface to subsurface sites, which many chemists believe to contribute to the pseudocapacitive charging.
Several disadvantages exist as well. TiO2(B), and titania in general, suffers from poor electronic and ionic conductivity.
Nanostructured TiO2(B) also exhibits significant irreversible capacity loss (ICL) upon first discharge (lithiation). NanostructuringTiO2(B) can help alleviate problems with poor ionic conductivity by shortening lithium diffusion pathways. Unfortunately, this alsoincreases the likelihood of severe first discharge ICL due to reactive Ti"OH and Ti"O surface sites that can cause unwantedelectrolyte degradation and irreversible trapping of Liþ. Nanostructuring also results in lowered volumetric energy density, whichcould be a considerable problem for mobile applications. We will also discuss these problems and proposed solutions.
Scientists have synthesized TiO2(B) in a variety of nanostructures including nanowires, nanotubes, nanoparticles, mesoporous- ordered nanostructures, and nanosheets. Many of these structures exhibit enhanced Liþ diffusion kinetics and increased specificcapacities compared to bulk material, and thus warrant investigation on how nanostructuring influences lithiation behavior. ThisAccount will focus on these influences from both experimental and theoretical perspectives. We will discuss the surface chargingmechanism that gives rise to the increased lithiation and delithiation kinetics for TiO2(B), along with the influence of dimensionalconfinement of the nanoarchitectures, and how nanostructuring can change the lithiation mechanism considerably.

(high energy density but typically poor power output) anddouble layer capacitors (high power output during shortbursts but low energy density). The pseudocapacitive energystorage mechanism is different from batteries in that surfaceredox properties dominate the charge-transfer processesrather than normal Faradaic diffusion-controlled insertionprocesses.4 Metal oxides such as RuO2 and IrO2 act as pseudo-capacitors offering exceptional power, fast charging, and long-term stability while also affording some of the advantages oftraditional secondary batteries such as reasonable storagecapacity.4,5 Pseudocapacitors with moderate energy densityat high charge rates over many cycles could find applications inhybrid-electric or electric vehicles. The pseudocapacitor could FIGURE 1.

Pseudocapacitors are required. Efficient use of renewable energies through load attractive because they take advantage of the attractive properties of leveling will also require the ability to store and deliver charge both batteries (charge storage) and capacitors (high rate delivery or rapidly.3 For these applications, RuO 2 and IrO2 would be cost prohibitive making, TiO2 a relatively inexpensive option.

In the case of the dominant storage mechanism and can offer 10"100 times pseudocapacitance, the extent of charge (Δq) is dependent the capacitance of a traditional carbon-based double layercapacitor.4 As mentioned in the Conspectus, TiO upon the change in voltage (ΔV), and thus, the total charge anode material in that both bulk and nanostructured forms passed, d(Δq)/d(ΔV), is the equivalent of capacitance and lithiate/delithiate through this pseudocapacitive mechanism, gives rise to the sloping galvanostatic (I"V) profiles often making it an attractive material for the applications noted exhibited by those materials.4 Figure 1 shows a general schematic of the three basic charge storage mechanisms in Electrochemical methods have been used to measure relation to galvanostatic and differential capacity (dC/dV) Liþ diffusion kinetics as well as the relative contributions of plots. Liþ insertion via pseudocapacitance is similar to a both capacitive (including double layer capacitance and battery in that a redox reaction is required for charge storage pseudocapacitance) and diffusion controlled insertion pro- but dissimilar in that the process is not diffusion limited.
