A method of fabricating nanocomposite anode material embodying a lithium titanate (LTO)-multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWNT) composite intended for use in a lithium-ion battery includes providing multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWNTs), including nanotube surfaces, onto which functional oxygenated carboxylic acid moieties are arranged, generating 3D flower-like, lithium titanate (LTO) microspheres, including thin nanosheets and anchoring the acid-functionalized MWNTs onto surfaces of the 3D LTO microspheres by π-π interaction strategy to realize the nanocomposite anode material.

'Flower-like' LITIO-multiwalled carbon nanotube composite structures with performance as highrate anode-materials for Li-ion battery applications and methods of synthesis thereof

A method of synthesizing an electrode material for lithium ion batteries from FeOnanoparticles and multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) to yield (FeO-NWNTs) composite heterostructures. The method includes linking the FeOnanoparticles and multiwalled carbon nanotubes using a &#x3c0;-&#x3c0; interaction synthesis process to yield the composite heterostructure electrode material. Since FeOhas an intermediate voltage, it can be considered an anode (when paired with a higher voltage material) or a cathode (when paired with a lower voltage material).
