    Abstract
    Supercapacitors store charge by ion adsorption or fast redox reactions on the surface of porous materials. One of the bottlenecks in this field is the development of biocompatible and high-rate supercapacitor devices by scalable fabrication processes. Herein, a Ti-rich anatase TiO2 material that addresses the above-mentioned challenges is reported. Tubular nanolettuces were fabricated by a cost-effective and fast anodization process of Ti foil. They attained a large potential window of 2.5 V in a neutral electrolyte owing to the high activation energy for water splitting of the (1 0 1) facet. Aqueous and all-solid-state devices showed diffusion time constants of 46 and 1700 ms, as well as...
