TiO2/carbon composite-fiber anodes for lithium ion batteries were prepared through the centrifugal spinning of TiS2/polyacrylonitrile (PAN) precursor fibers and subsequent thermal treatment. The TiS2/PAN precursor solutions were prepared by mixing TiS2nanoparticles (a 2-D layered structure) with PAN in N, N-dimethylformamide (DMF). The thermal treatment of the TiS2in the centrifugally spun PAN fibers resulted in TiO2/carbon composite fibers. The structure of TiO2nanoparticles embedded in the carbon-fiber matrix synthesized from the TiS2starting material may accommodate high amounts of Li ions. The TiO2/C structure may lead to increased specific capacity, improved stability, and enhanced electrochemical performance of the TiO2/C composite electrode after prolonged charge/discharge cycles. The TiO2/C composite-fiber anode delivered discharge and charge capacities at the first cycle of 683 mAhg−1and 356 mAhg−1, respectively, with a reversible charge capacity of 290 mAhg−1after 100 cycles at a current density of 100 mAg−1. The TiO2/C composite fibers showed an improvement in the rate performance at higher current densities compared to the graphite anode alone.
