Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <bold>The use of battery electrode architectures free of support components</bold> would enable gains in device energy density. The electrochemical behavior of carbon‐free electrodes with different anatase TiO₂ particles is investigated. The performance is found to depend on both crystal size and morphology. Electrodes with 3 × 20 nm rods showed exceptional durability and rate capability, even when compared to electrodes with carbon additives <boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgg4t36x4zz" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
