Lithium ion batteries form an integral part of many modern gadget packages as reliable power sources. Oxide powders of titanium have been reported to offer high charge storage capabilities coupled with enhanced electrode stability when used as anodes in lithiunm ion battreies. This paper describes a simple room temperature wet chemical method for the synthesis of nano sized titanium oxide powders for use in Li-ion Batteries. Analytical tools like, X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FESEM) and Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) were used for the determination of phase purity, crystallite size and particle morphologies. The capacity measurements carried out on the powders in anode form indicated that these powders exhibit high charge storage capacity compared to graphite and have good cycling performance.
