In　this　report,　using　atomic　layer　deposition　(ALD)　technique,　TiO2　layer　with　different　thickness　is　conformally　deposited　on　the　surface　of　MoO3　nanobelts　for　enhanced-performance　anode.　Impressively,　the　MoO3@85-TiO2　(85　cycles　coating)　nanobelts　anode　shows　its　best　comprehensive　value:　The　initial　Coulombic　efficiency　(CE)　dramatically　increases　from　44%　to　73%　compared　to　bare　MoO3　electrode;　It　also　delivers　highest　initial　specific　capacity　of　1153.7　mAh　g(-1)　at　100　mA　(-1),　which　is　superior　to　the　uncoated　MoO3　(427.3　mAh　g(-1)).　Additionally,　MoO3@85-TiO2　nanobelts　show　a　remarkable　long-life　stability　from　initial　913.6　to　935.8　mAh　g(-1)　after　400　charge-discharge　cycles　at　400　mA　g(-1).　The　advanced　TEM　characterizations　reveal　that　the　TiO2　layer　can　experience　a　transition　from　amorphous　into　crystalline　Li2Ti2O4　with　cubic　structure　(a　=　8.375　angstrom)　during　cycling,　which　are　acted　as　an　efficient　lithium　ion　conductor.　Furthermore,　the　quantified　mechanical　properties　demonstrate　a　remarkable　decrease　in　the　bending　elastic　modulus　of　MoO3@85-TiO2　nanobelts　compared　to　that　of　pristine　MoO3.　Therefore,　the　boosted　electrochemical　performance　can　be　attributed　to　efficient　lithium　ions　transportation　across　the　moderate　conductor　layer　and　robust　mechanical　integrity　that　the　large　volume　variation.　These　results　advance　the　understanding　in　the　coating　regulated　materials　for　enhancedperformance　LIBs.　(C)　2018　Elsevier　Ltd.　All　rights　reserved.
