Nanocomposite　of　Li2ZnTi3O8/carbon　nanobelt　was　successfully　synthesized　through　a　simple　synthetic　route　using　titanate　nanobelts　as　a　precursor,　in　which　a　thin　carbon　layer　of　ca.　2–3　nm　was　formed　on　the　surface　of　Li2ZnTi3O8　nanobelts.　This　material　was　used　as　an　anode　material　for　Li-ion　storage　and　demonstrates　a　large　reversible　charge-discharge　capacity　of　247.6　mA　h　g−　1　after　200　cycles　at　0.2　A　g−　1,　which　is　much　greater　than　that　of　pure　Li2ZnTi3O8　nanowires.　At　the　same　time,　this　material　also　exhibits　excellent　rate　capability　with　a　capacity　of　ca.　178.0　mA　h　g−　1　even　at　a　current　density　as　high　as　2　A　g−　1.　These　excellent　properties　might　be　attributed　to　its　high　electronic　conductivity　due　to　a　thin　carbon　layer　on　the　surface　of　nanobelts　and　one-dimensional　(1D)　nanostructure　can　facilitate　the　electron　transport　along　the　long　dimension,　meanwhile,　Li+　can　be　transport　fast　along　the　two　short　dimensions.　©　2017
