A general strategy based on the self-evolution of building blocks for the construction of one-dimensional hierarchically super-structured TiO2 fibres.

One-dimensional hierarchically superstructured metal-doped titanate and TiO2 materials with coated-nanosheet and interconnected meso-/macropores have been successfully constructed via a general strategy based on the self-evolution of building blocks. The as-fabricated superstructured TiO2-based fibers exhibited remarkable stable cycling performance at a high current rate (5C) in lithium–sulfur (Li–S) batteries. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
