Sodium titanate nanorods consisting of two phases were successfully synthesized by microwave assisted hydrothermal synthesis. The electrochemical behavior during lithium ion insertion and deinsertion was studied depending on the different ratio of Na₂Ti₃O₇/Na₂Ti₆O₁₃ in the sample. Hydrothermally treated precipitates were calcined at temperatures 700°C, 800°C and 900°C. The purity and crystallographic composition of the samples were examined by XRD and the morphology was observed by SEM. Electrochemical behavior was studied by cyclic voltametry and galvanostatic cycling, all measurements were performed in three electrode cells with metallic sodium as counter and reference electrodes. Samples with three phase compositions were prepared: pure trititanate Na₂Ti₃O₇, pure hexatitanate Na₂Ti₆O₁₃ and mixture of both in the ratio of 42% Na₂Ti₃O₇ to 58% Na₂Ti₆O₁₃. Best capacity achieved by prepared samples was 145 mAh/g at 0.1C.
