This paper reports a facile sol–gel synthesis method to successfully prepare the TiP2O7 /expanded graphite (EG) nanocomposite as an advanced anode material for aqueous lithium-ion batteries. The constructed TiP2O7 nanocomposites (50–100 nm) are in situ encapsulated in the pore and layer structure of...
