Hollow structures of rutile TiO2, and especially with non‐spherical shape, have rarely been reported. Herein, high‐quality rutile TiO2 submicroboxes have been synthesized by a facile templating method using Fe2O3 submicrocubes as removable templates. Compared to other rutile TiO2 nanomaterials, the as‐prepared rutile TiO2 submicroboxes manifest superior lithium storage properties in terms of high specific capacity, long‐term cycling stability, and excellent rate capability. |
