A unique porous ternary MnTiO 3 /TiO 2 /C composite is obtained from Mn 2 O 3 /polyaniline precursor through the liquid phase deposition (LPD) method and subsequent carbonization process. When the MnTiO 3 /TiO 2 /C composite is evaluated as anode materials for lithium ion batteries (LIBs), it displays enhanced electrochemical performance, including superior cycling stability (418 mAh g −1 after 200 cycles at 500 mA g −1 ), favorable rate capability (270 mAh g −1 at 4 A g −1 ), and supernal coulombic efficiency (>98% after 200 cycles), compared with pristine Mn 2 O 3 and Mn 2 O 3 /TiO 2 composite. The enhanced electrochemical performance of ternary composite is mainly ascribed to the unique structural design and the synergistic effect of various components. Therefore, the resultant porous ternary MnTiO 3 /TiO 2 /C composite would have great potential as a new generation of anode materials for LIBs.
