Abstract
The NiO loaded anatase TiO2 nanotubes have been successfully synthesized. It was found that NiO nanoparticles could prevent the nanotubular morphology from destruction during the dehydration of interlayered –OH groups of NTA and improve the electronic conductivity of TiO2 nanotubes. Galvanostatic battery testing showed that the NiO loaded anatase TiO2 nanotubes electrode exhibit excellent rate capability and good cycle performance. The enhanced performances can be attributed to its favorable tubular morphology and the better electrical contact between NiO and TiO2 nanotubes.
