  • We demonstrate rutile $TiO_2$ branched nanostructure ($TiO_2$-BN) electrodes synthesized by seeding method for enhanced lithium intercalation properties. The morphology and crystalline nature of the $TiO_2$-BN were clearly observed by field-emission transmission electron microscopy and fast Fourier transform pattern. The $TiO_2$-BN electrodes showed excellent capacity and high rate performance. The improved lithium-ion intercalation properties of the $TiO_2$- BN may be attributed to relatively large specific surface area and short transport distance of the branched nanostructure.
