Superior electrode performance of mesoporous hollow TiO2 microspheres through efficient hierarchical nanostructures

► Hollow TiO2 microsphere prepared via template-assisted and hydrothermal method. ► The size and hierarchical nanostructures of microsphere were controlled. ► Hierarchical nanostructured mesoporous hollow TiO2 microsphere as anode material. ► Microsphere composed of mesoporous nanospheres enhances electrochemical performance.
