Summary:Li-ion batteries are one of the most promising electrochemical power sources to be widely used in portable electronics, electric vehicles, and stationary energy storage systems. Ti-based materials have been intensively investigated as important anodes for Li-ion batteries due to their high safety and excellent cycling stability. The present work reviews the latest advances in the exploration and development of Ti-based compounds, such as Li 4 Ti 5 O 12 , Li 2 Ti 3 O 7 , TiO 2 -B and H 2 Ti 3 O 7 , as high performance anode materials for Li-ion batteries. The relationship between the preparation, composition, structure, morphology and electrochemical performance are summarized and analyzed. Further, the related advancements and challenges in practical energy applications are discussed. The work reviews the latest advances in Ti-based compounds including Li-Ti-O, H-Ti-O and Na-Ti-O systems as high performance anodes for Li-ion batteries.
