Abstract

A flexible film electrode is fabricated by growing TiO2 (B) nanosheets on electrospun carbon nanofiber fabric. The hybrid electrode exhibits remarkable electrochemical performance with high reversible capacity, excellent rate capability, and ultralong cycle life for thousands of cycles, which makes it highly attractive for high-power flexible lithium-ion batteries.

Keywords: TiO2; activated carbon fabric; flexbile electrodes; lithium-ion batteries.
