As an anode material for Li-ion capacitors (LICs), TiO2 exhibits pseudocapacitive behavior, low sodium storage potential and small structural changes in lithium storage process. However, poor conductivity and slow ion diffusion lead to sluggish lithium storage kinetics. Using sodium dihydrogen phosphate (NaH2PO4) as a phosphorus source, P-doped TiO2/C (P-TiO2/C) nanotubes are prepared by a simple solvothermal method to improve the lithium storage performance of TiO2. The P-TiO2/C nanotubes composed of nanosheets grown vertically on the surface can provide effective contact areas between electrolyte and active materials. And the C and P in P-TiO2/C are derived from the carbonization of alcohols and decomposition of NaH2PO4. P-doping easily causes P—O—Ti bond formed in TiO2 by P5+ replacing part of Ti4+, which can effectively improve the conductivity of TiO2. Electrochemical tests show that the P-TiO2/C anode for Li-ion batteries exhibits a high specific capacity (335 mAh•g-1 at a current density of 0.1 A•g-1), excellent rate capability (92 mAh•g-1 at a current density of 2.0 A•g-1) and long cycle performance (135 mAh•g-1 at a current density of 1.0 A•g-1 after 1000 cycles). In addition, the pseudocapacitive contribution of P-TiO2/C anode is about 96% at a scan rate of 2 mV•s-1. The superior lithium storage performance of P-TiO2/C nanotubes is derived from the P-doping in TiO2, which can change the electron structure of TiO2, which facilitates the electrons transport and lithium diffusion kinetics. The LICs assembled by P-TiO2/C anodes and activated carbon cathodes have a high energy density of 74.7 Wh•kg-1 at a power density of 250 W•kg-1, which are higher than some LICs based on titanic-based compound anodes. And the capacity retention of the LICs is about 43% after 10000 cycles at a current density of 1.0 A•g-1. In addition, after 10000 cycles test, a fully charged LICs can still light up the “LIC” model composed of 18 red LED lights. This work provides an idea for the design of TiO2 anode materials for high-performance LICs.
