Curled up : TiO 2 ‐B nanotubes with two curled layers are successfully prepared by a facile hydrothermal route and subsequent calcination. The two curled layers produce a thin wall, and thus the obtained double‐walled structure results in short distances of electron and lithium‐ion transport, thereby leading to an improved high‐rate performance.
