Abstract

Nanostructured materials lie at the heart of the fundamental advances in efficient energy storage/conversion in which surface process and transport kinetics play determining roles. This article describes some recent developments in the synthesis and characterizations of nanostructured transition metal oxides and their derivatives with chemical and crystal structure modification for efficient lithium-ion intercalation, including vanadium oxides, manganese oxides, titanium dioxide, and various nanostructured composites. The major objective of this article is to highlight some new progress in using these nanostructured materials as electrodes to develop lithium-ion batteries with high energy density, high-rate capability, and excellent cycling stability owing to the huge surface area, short distance for mass and charge transport, and freedom for volume change in nanostructured materials.
