Particle Size Dependence of TiO2 Electrodes in Rechargeable Lithium Battery by S. Y. Huang, G. Campet, N. Treuil, J. Porter, K. Chhor

“…Nanosized TiO2 electrodes showed by 22% larger storage capacity, 50% lower overvoltage loss at the same current density, and 75% higher charge density for a given time than microsized ones; electric storage capacity enhances more rapidly with decreasing particle size and increasing surface area in a nanoscale region than in a microscale region. The particle size dependence may be explained by surface morphology of electrodes and existence of structural defects or distortion in the surface layer of TiO2 nanosized particles.…”
