A ternary‐phase Li 4 Ti 5 O 12 /TiO 2 (LTO/TiO 2 ) nanosheet composite is successfully synthesized by a one‐pot hydrothermal method followed by two‐step annealing ways. It exhibits high specific capacities of 170 mAh g −1 , 154 mAh g −1 , 138.5 mAh g −1 , and 123.9 mAh g −1 at 1 C, 10 C, 30 C and 50 C, respectively. After 3000 cycles at 20 C, over 89.2 % original specific capacity retention is maintained with approximately 100 % columbic efficiency. The excellent rate performance and cycling stability are attributed to the high crystallinity, the thin nanosheets, the high surface area, and an appropriate amount of nanostructured TiO 2 seeds dispersed in the Li 4 Ti 5 O 12 (LTO) matrix for the final products.
