Abstract

A novel titanium-silicon MOF precursor was first designed and constructed via a facile solvothermal process. After subsequent pyrolysis, the derived ternary TiO2/SiOx@C nanocomposite exhibited superior lithium storage performances, which was attributed to their all-in-one architecture of synergistic components, including stable-cycling nanostructured TiO2, high-capacity SiOx and high-conductivity carbon matrix.
