Facet　engineering　of　electrode　materials　with　a　special　facet　provides　a　new　strategy　to　enhance　their　electrochemical　properties.　In　the　present　work,　hierarchical　TiO2-B　composed　of　nanosheets　with　exposed　{010}　facets　are　successfully　synthesized　via　a　facial　hydrothermal　route.　When　used　as　an　anode　for　lithium　ion　batteries,　this　material　demonstrates　high　capacities,　excellent　rata　capability　and　remarkable　cycling　performance.　For　instance,　it　displays　a　reversible　capacity　of　200.9　mA　h　g−1　after　200　cycles　at　a　current　density　of　1.675　A　g−1　(5　C).　Furthermore,　a　full　cell　consisted　of　hierarchical　TiO2-B　composed　of　nanosheets　with　exposed　{010}　facets　anode　and　LiFePO4　cathode　exhibits　a　high　capacity　of　125.6　mA　h　g−1　after　1000　cycles　at　a　current　density　of　2　A　g−1.　Such　outstanding　electrochemical　properties　of　this　material　can　be　attributed　to　hierarchical　structure　and　the　presence　of　exposed　{010}　facets　which　provides　favorable　lithium　transport　channels.　©　2018　Elsevier　B.V.
