Boosting fast and stable sodium-ion storage in TiO2 by amorphization engineering and superstructure design†
Abstract
We introduce a hierarchical lamellar superstructure colloidally co-assembled from MXene-derived amorphous TiO2 nanosheets (am-TiO2 NSs) and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) as an anode for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). Leveraging the synergistic effect of active amorphous NSs and an open-accessible architecture, the am-TiO2-CNT electrode demonstrates exceptional rate capabilities and cycling stabilities in SIBs.
