Abstract TiO2 as an anode material for lithium ion batteries(LIBs) has received much attention due to its stable structure, safety and environmental benignity, as well as small volume expansion rate (≤4%) during cycling. However, the low theoretical specific capacity (335 mAh·g-1) and diffusion coefficient of lithium ions, which hinders its practical applications. According, the core-shell Cu@a.-TiO2 NPs are in situ synthesized by co-evaporation of the micron powder mixture of CuO and TiO2. The Cu core is oxidized into electrochemically active CuO phase that is used as the intermediate coating to obtain Cu@CuO@a.-TiO2 NCs. Testing results indicate that the Cu@CuO@a.-TiO2NCs electrode delivers an initial discharge specific capacity of 1 936.1 mAh·g-1. After 200 cycles, the discharge specific capacity can still maintain 882.3 mAh·g-1with a coulombic efficiency of 98.8%. The amorphous TiO2 shell provides abundant active sites to promote the diffusion and migration of lithium ions, and thus improve the transfer efficiency of charge; metallic Cu can enhance conductivity of electrode, and the interspace generated by its oxidation can accommodate volume variation, which improves the electrochemical performances of Cu@CuO@a.-TiO2 NCs electrode.
