Abstract: In this work, a TiO2/Co3O4 nanostructured materials was prepared through a hydrothermal process using cobalt(Ⅱ) nitrate hexahydrate, urea, and hydrothermally pre-synthesized (from TiO2 powders and NaOH and under mechanical stirring) TiO2 nanowires as raw materials. The composition, morphology and electrochemical performance of the product were characterized by employing X-ray diffractometer (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), charging/discharging tester and electrochemical workstation. Our experiments illustrated the nest-like micromorphology, good cyclic stability and electrochemical character of this two-step hydrothermally synthesized TiO2/Co3O4 composites, as the electrode exhibited initial discharge and charge capacities of 777 mAh/g and 759 mAh/g, respectively, and a capacity retention of 663 mAh/g after 100 cycles during constant-current charge/discharge at 33.5 mA/g.
