Filling the gaps : A low‐temperature solution route was employed to successfully prepare multiwalled TiS 2 nanotubes with open‐ended tips (see HRTEM image). The as‐prepared nanotubes could be intercalated with lithium atoms by treating a solution of the TiS 2 nanotubes with n BuLi. The resulting homogeneous intercalated phase of LiTiS 2 exhibited a c ‐axis expansion of approximately 10.5 % relative to the original TiS 2 material.
