However, several intrinsic critical drawbacks, including moderate electrochemical kinetics and unsatisfactory long cyclic stability, significantly limit its practical applications. It is crucial to develop reliable strategies to resolve these issues to advance the TiO2(B) based materials into practical applications in lithium/sodium-ion batteries. In this review, both the theoretical and experimental investigations on the TiO2(B) based materials over the last few decades are chronically elaborated. Insights on the general and detailed evolution trends of the research on TiO2(B) anodes are provided. The review also points to future directions for the TiO2(B) anode research to advance the practical application of TiO2(B) anodes.Chemistry, MultidisciplinaryChemistry, PhysicalNanoscience & NanotechnologyMaterials Science, MultidisciplinaryPhysics, AppliedPhysics, Condensed MatterChemistryScience & Technology - Other TopicsMaterials SciencePhysicsbronze-phase titanium dioxidechronicle perspectiveelectrochemical performancelithium-ion battery anodesodium-ion battery anodehigh-performance anodetitanium-dioxide nanomaterialspotential negative electrodedoped graphene nanosheetsrechargeable lithiumelectrochemical propertiesnanostructured materialsoxygen vacancieshigh-capacitymicrowave irradiationtext::journal::journal article::review article
