The influence of surface morphology on the lithium‐ion battery performance of TiO 2 , a safer anode material than graphite, has been investigated. We demonstrate that (001)‐faceted TiO 2 nanosheets display better electrochemical energy storage performance, higher charge/discharge rates, larger capacity, and improved stability over spherical TiO 2 nanoparticles. The improvement is attributed to the smaller charge diffusion resistance in the TiO 2 nanosheets as a result of increased lithium‐ion insertion/extraction along the c‐axis during the charge/discharge process for the (001)‐faceted TiO 2 nanosheets in comparison to spherical TiO 2 nanoparticles.
