abstract = "High demand for efficient storage devices has set a goal of improving the efficiency of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), which currently represent the most promising energy storage devices . Most of the commercial LIBs today are composed of graphitic-based anodes, which are not suitable for high performance applications, such as electric vehicles. In this context, there is an increased interest in the development of novel anode materials, with enhanced kinetics. Such an electrode with enhanced capabilities could be TiO2 nanotube arrays (NTAs). In this paper, anatase TiO2 NTAs were prepared by anodization of a Ti foil in the solution of NH4F in glycerol at the voltage of 45 V and subsequent annealing at 400oC. The presence of anatase TiO2 was confirmed by Raman spectroscopy and the morphology was observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), while the electrochemical insertion of Liion in nanotubes was studied by means of cyclic voltammetry (CV) and galvanostatic (GS) charge-discharge experiments by exposing the electrode to the 1M solution of LiClO4 in propylene carbonate. The CV response was fast at all scan rates, up to 50 mV·s-1 , with characteristic Ti4+/Ti3+ redox peaks. The Ti/TiO2 NTAs electrode was GC cycled at different current densities (in orders 100, 50, 25 and again 100 µA·cm-2 ) at room temperature. After the initial 50 cycles the insertion/extraction capacity amounted 191.1/170.1 mAh·g-1 . By decreasing the current density, capacity significantly rises to 268.4/243.3 and 347.8/312.3 mAh·g-1 at 50 and 25 µA·cm-2 , respectively. After the last cycle at 100 µA·cm-2 , capacity amounts 188.9/168.1 mAh·g-1 , which is about 99% of the initial capacity. The diffusion coefficient of Li-ion was calculated to be 7.06·10-16 cm2 ·s-1 during deintercalation and 8.16·10-16 cm2 ·s-1 during intercalation.",
