✦ Synopsis

The substitution effects of Ti by Mo and W ions on the stability of anatase in commercially available TiO 2 powders have been studied by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, and surface area measurements in the 300-1000 K temperature range. The powder containing W shows smaller microstrains compared to those of pure anatase phase and those containing Mo. The stabilization effect of vacancies in the anatase phase is discussed and the anatase to futile transformation caused by annealing is proposed to be related to the disappearance of Ti 3+ ions in the anatase structure. Finally, a possible redox mechanism Ti 3+ ¢=~ Ti 4+ + e-is proposed to play a fundamental role in the catalytic and sensor properties of this material.

## Abstract Sustainable energy storage in the form of Li‐ion batteries requires new and advanced materials in particular with a higher power density. Nanostructuring appears to be a promising strategy, in which the higher power density in nanosized materials is related to the dramatically shortened
