Abstract TinO2n-1 are considered to be a kind of high-performance conductive ceramic material, which have broad application prospect and crucial research value due to its unique physical, chemical and electrochemical properties. In addition to its own ceramic characteristics, the oxygen defects in the crystal structure endow it with the metal-like conductive properties, which break up the limitation on further application of ceramic materials because of its poor conductivity. Ti4O7 exhibits the best conductivity among TinO2n-1 materials, what’s more, it also have many other remarkable properties such as outstanding photoresponse, strong acid and alkali corrosion resistance and better electrochemical stability, which has aroused great concern of material researchers and has been widely used in the field of electrochemistry, thermoelectric materials, energy storage material, photocatalytic degradation and so on. Currently, by virtue of its distinguished electron conductivity and chemical stability, Ti4O7 was mainly used as battery electrodes and electrocatalytic support materials. The production process has been mature and commercialized. The preparationprocess of Ti4O7 still have many defects. Particle size, porosity, crystallinity and other factors all exert a great influence on the performance of Ti4O7. The method of revivifying titanium precursor at high temperature has been commonly applied to industry. However, the Ti4O7 which was treated at high temperature would come out a series problems such as particle agglomeration, serious sintering and high specific surface area, resulting in the poor performance of Ti4O7. Therefore, researchers are trying to optimize the preparation process, and explore other synthetic methods at low temperature, but there are still some unsolved problems such as low product purity and high energy consumption. The details of the process need to be further studied. At present, three main issues consititute the majority of the research upon: Ⅰ. improving the purity of the product; Ⅱ. refining grain size and controlling particle size, Ⅲ. preparation of powder with controlled morphology.Researchers constantly introduce new technologies into the preparationprocess of Ti4O7. On the basis of the sol-gel method, the core-shell hollow pipe material with high specific surface area was successfully prepared via electrospining technology, while the sintering temperature was reduced by nearly 20%. The microwave heating method was firstly adopted to obtained Ti4O7 with controlled structures by radiating only 30 minutes under microwave. In recent two years, with the deepening of research, various excellent properties of Ti4O7 have been further developed and utilized. Ti4O7 shows superior rapid charge and discharge properties and cycle stability in lithium-ion batteries, lithium-sulfur batteries, metal-air batteries, fuel cells. What’s more, it has been applied in energy storage materials, thermoelectricity materials, photoelectricity materials and many other new energy fields. This paper introduces the composition, structure and physicochemical properties of Ti4O7, summarizes the main preparation methods and typical applications of Ti4O7 ceramic, analyzes the advantages and disadvantages of various preparation methods and application requirements. And outlooks the future research directions and development trends in the field, which provide some references for the popularization and application of Ti4O7 functional ceramic material.
