Ordered mesoporous carbon has been intensively investigated for its novel structure and high surface area since these properties are beneficial to energy storage materials. Furthermore, it has been applied to composites containing electroactive metal oxide for use as lithium ion batteries (LIBs). Among the metal oxides, TiO2 has a low electrical conductivity, not beneficial to rate capability, in nature so that requires well-developed, widely penetrated conducting networks. Also, TiO2 prefers amorphous phase for the better cyclability. Graphene, 2D conductive layers of graphitic sheets, are extremely researched since it provided higher rate capability and mechanical strength to energy storage materials. Herein, a tetra-constituent co-assembly method with graphene sheets was applied to produce amorphous TiO2 and smaller surface maintaining ordered mesopores for easy electrolyte transport. On this presentation, the product was investigated.
