Abstract

Abstract : A novel binder-free layered Ti3 C2 /CNTs nanocomposite lithium-ion battery anode exhibits a high specific capacity and a long cycle life. Abstract : A two-dimensional layered Ti3 C2 /carbon nanotubes (CNTs) hybrid thin film was prepared. Owing to the excellent conductivity of the CNTs, this unique layered structure provides a rapid charge transfer path during the electrochemical reaction, as a lithium ion battery anode, which exhibits higher capacitance and better cycling stability (a reversible capacity of 428.1 mA h g −1 at 0.5 C after 300 cycles) compared with 96.2 mA h g −1 of pure Ti3 C2 nanosheets, as well as superior rate capability.
