Abstract

In this review, the studies on the electrochemical properties of $TiO_2$ nanotube as an anode material of lithium-ion battery, which was prepared by an alkaline hydrothermal reaction and anneling process, were investigated andanalyzed in terms of charge-dischage characteristics. Up to date, a maximum discharge capacity of $338mAh\;g^{-1}$(x=1.01) was achieved by the nanotube with $TiO_2(B)$ phase, whereas the theoretical capacity of $TiO_2$ anode was $335mAh\;g^{-1}$(x=1) in the basis of $Li_xTiO_2$ as a product of electrochemical reaction between $TiO_2$ and lithium. This was due to fast lithium transport by a shortened diffusion path provided by controlling the nanostructure of $TiO_2$, because the self-diffusion of lithium was slow in a basis of its activation energy as 0.48 eV. Due to an excellent ion storage capabilities in both the surface and the bulk phase, the $TiO_2$ nanotube could be a promising active material as both an anode of lithium-ion battery and an electrode of capacitor with high-rate performances.

리튬이온전지의 음전극으로 사용하기 위해 주로 알카리 수열합성법과 열처리에 의해 제조되는 $TiO_2$ 나노튜브의 전기화학적 특성에 관한 연구결과를 조사하여, 그 충방전 특성을 분석하였다. 현재까지 리튬과 $TiO_2$의 전기화학반응으로 생성되는 $Li_xTiO_2$의 이론용량인 $335mAh\;g^{-1}$(x=1)를 초과하는 최대방전용량 $338mAh\;g^{-1}$(x=1.01)을 $TiO_2(B)$ 상을 갖는 나노튜브가 나타내었다. 이것은 리튬의 자가확산이 활성에너지 0.48 eV 정도로 느리므로 이보다 확산거리가 짧도록 $TiO_2$ 나노튜브의 구조를 조정하여 리튬 수송이 원활하도록 하였기 때문이다. 또한 $TiO_2$ 나노튜브 구조체는 벌크상은 물론 표면에서의 뛰어난 이온저장성 때문에 리튬이온전지의 음전극 소재뿐만 아니라 고출력 특성이 필요한 커페시터 소자의 전극소재로도 활용할 수 있다.
