Nanostructured TiO2(B) suffers from severe initial irreversible capacity loss (ICL) (≥15 %), hindering its commercialization. While the incorporation of stable Li4Ti5O12 with negligible ICL into TiO2(B) should address the issue, the synthesis of TiO2(B)/Li4Ti5O12 composite remains unexploited becaus...
