Abstract

The upper part of the frontispiece shows the operating potential vs. the practical specific charge capacity of different positive and negative Li-ion battery materials. The stability window of todays liquid electrolyte solutions is confined by the formation of the cathode electrolyte interphase (CEI) and the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI). In the lower part of the frontispiece, the overall performance of conventional carbonaceous and titania based materials are compared. In this mini review, Fehse and Ventosa illustrate the promising role of TiO₂ (B) as battery material with enhanced safety, cycle stability and rate performance.

Keywords: TiO2(b); lithium-ion batteries; safety; sodium-ion batteries; titanium-based material.
