Metal–organic framework-derived graphene@nitrogen doped carbon@ultrafine TiO2 nanocomposites as high rate and long-life anodes for sodium ion batteries†
Abstract
Graphene@nitrogen doped carbon@ultrafine TiO2 nanoparticles (G-NC@TiO2) with porous structure are obtained through annealing the precursor of graphene oxide/metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) for the first time. As an anode material for sodium ion batteries (SIB), the G-NC@TiO2 composite can deliver an excellent capacity retention of 93% even after 5000 cycles, and a superior rate capability.
