To explore anode materials with large capacities and high rate performances for the lithium-ion batteries of electric vehicles, defective Ti2Nb10O27.1has been prepared through a facile solid-state reaction in argon. X-ray diffractions combined with Rietveld refinements indicate that Ti2Nb10O27.1has the same crystal structure with stoichiometric Ti2Nb10O29(Wadsley-Roth shear structure withA2/mspace group) but larger lattice parameters and 6.6% O2–vacancies (vs.all O2–ions). The electronic conductivity and Li+ion diffusion coefficient of Ti2Nb10O27.1are at least six orders of magnitude and ~2.5 times larger than those of Ti2Nb10O29, respectively. First-principles calculations reveal that the significantly enhanced electronic conductivity is attributed to the formation of impurity bands in Ti2Nb10O29–xand its conductor characteristic. As a result of the improvements in the electronic and ionic conductivities, Ti2Nb10O27.1exhibits not only a large initial discharge capacity of 329 mAh g–1and charge capacity of 286 mAh g–1at 0.1 C but also an outstanding rate performance and cyclability. At 5 C, its charge capacity remains 180 mAh g–1with large capacity retention of 91.0% after 100 cycles, whereas those of Ti2Nb10O29are only 90 mAh g–1and 74.7%.
