Abstract

TiN@C nanocomposites have been successfully synthesized by an annealing method using oleic acid as the carbon source. The as-prepared TiN@C nanocomposites were characterized by XRD, EDX, TEM techniques. When studied as anode materials for lithium-ion batteries, such unique structures endow composite electrodes with the long cycling ability and a high discharge capacity due to the existence of the carbon layer.
