Mesoporous and Nanostructured TiO layer with Ultra-High Loading on Nitrogen-Doped Carbon Foams as Flexible and Free-Standing Electrodes for Lithium-Ion Batteries.

A simple and green method is developed for the preparation of nanostructured TiO supported on nitrogen-doped carbon foams (NCFs) as a free-standing and flexible electrode for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), in which the TiO with 2.5-4 times higher loading than the conventional TiO -based flexible electrodes acts as the active material. In addition, the NCFs act as a flexible substrate and efficient conductive networks.
