ResumoAbstract Magnesium‐ion batteries are widely studied for its environmentally friendly, low‐cost, and high volumetric energy density. In this work, the solvothermal method is used to prepare titanium dioxide bronze (TiO 2 ‐B) nanoflowers with different nickel (Ni) doping concentrations for use in magnesium ion batteries as cathode materials. As Ni doping enhances the electrical conductivity of TiO 2 ‐B and promotes magnesium ion diffusion, the band gap of TiO 2 ‐B host material can be significantly reduced, and as Ni content increases, diffusion contributes more to capacity. According to the electrochemical test, TiO 2 ‐B exhibits excellent electrochemical performance when the Ni element doping content is 2 at% and it is coated with reduced graphene oxide@carbon nanotube (RGO@CNT). At a current density of 100 mA g −1 , NT‐2/RGO@CNT discharge specific capacity is as high as 167.5 mAh g −1 , which is 2.36 times of the specific discharge capacity of pure TiO 2 ‐B. It is a very valuable research material for magnesium ion battery cathode materials.
