Popis: International audience; Li 2 TiO 3 /Ni foam composites were prepared by a solid-state reaction process. They crystallized in the monoclinic Li 2 TiO 3 structure with C2/c space group. SEM images show that the Li 2 TiO 3 particles are monodispersed crys-tallites of average size 49 nm, infused into porous scaffold Ni foam. As an anode in lithium battery, the composite delivered a discharge capacity of 153 mAh g À1 in an aqueous electrolyte and retained 95% of its initial capacity after 30 cycles. Moreover, the Li 2 TiO 3 /Ni foam composite as a negative electrode of pseudo-supercapacitor delivered a specific capacitance of 593 F g À1 and retained 95% of its initial capacitance after 1000 cycles. The enhanced capacity of Li 2 TiO 3 /Ni composite is due to porous scaffold Ni foam, which provides high conductivity to the Li 2 TiO 3 particles and high effective surface area for redox reactions. The performance of the Li 2 TiO 3 /Ni foam as an electrode material for both lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) and supercapacitors (SCs) shows that this composite is promising for energy storage devices.
