Hierarchically structured porous TiO 2 -B spheres have been synthesized via a hydrothermal process using amorphous titania/oleylamine composites as a self-sacrificing template. The TiO 2 -B spheres are constructed by interconnected nanotubes and possess a high specific surface area of 295 m 2  g -1 . When evaluated as an anode material in lithium-half cells, the as-obtained TiO 2 -B material exhibits high and reversible lithium storage capacity of 270 mA h g -1  at 1 C (340 mA g -1 ), excellent rate capability of 221 mA h g -1  at 10 C, and long cycle life with over 70% capacity retention after 1000 cycles at 10 C. The superior electrochemical performance of TiO 2 -B material strongly correlates to the synergetic superiorities with a combination of TiO 2 -B polymorph, hierarchically porous structure, interconnected nanotubes and spherical morphology. Post-mortem structural analyses reveal some discrete cubic LiTiO 2  nanodots formed on the outer surfaces of TiO 2 -B nanotubes, which might account for the slight capacity loss upon prolonged electrochemical cycling.
