The technique for the development of the single-crystal-like mesoporous Li2TiSiO5 is illustrated. The stoichiometric Ti4+/Li+-citrate chelate (SCP) was ready because the precursor for the micelles directed self-assembly. Subsequent step-crystallization course of results in the formation of single-crystal-like mesoporous Li2TiSiO5. Credit score: Science China Press In lithium-ion storage, microstructured single crystal electrode supplies present nice benefits
