Abstract
Ni doped titanate nanotubes were synthesized by hydrothermal method using Ni doped rutile TiO 2 nanopowders as a starting material. The electrochemical properties were investigated by cyclic voltammmetric methods. The microstructure and morphology of the synthesized powders were characterized by XRD (X-ray diffraction), and HRTEM (high resolution transmission electron microscopy). Ni doped nanotubes were composed of H 2 Ti 2 O 5 ·H 2 O with outer and inner diameter of ∼10 nm and 6 nm and showed a initial discharge capacity of 305 mAh/g with poor cycling performance. However, after firing, the Ni doped nanotubes revealed better cycling performance due to lower reaction with hydrate and smaller diameter of the tubes.
