Presently, lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are the most promising commercialized electrochemical energy storage systems. Unfortunately, the limited resource of Li results in increasing cost for its scalable application and a general consciousness of the need to find new type of energy storage technologies. Very recently, substantial effort has been invested to sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) due to their effectively unlimited nature of sodium resources. Furthermore, the potential of Li/Li+ is 0.3 V lower than that of Na/Na+, which makes it more effective to limit the electrolyte degradation on the outer surface of the electrode.[1] Nevertheless, one major obstacle for the commercial application …

Structural design and modification are effective approaches to regulate the physicochemical properties of TiO 2 , which play an important role in achieving advanced materials. Herein, a plasma-assisted method is reported to synthesize a surface-defect-rich and deep-cation-site-rich S doped rutile TiO 2 (R-TiO 2- x -S) as an advanced anode for the Na ion battery. An amorphous shell (≈3 nm) is induced by the Ar/H 2 plasma, which brings about the subsequent high S doping concentration (≈4.68 at%) and deep doping depth. Experimental results and density functional theory calculations demonstrate greatly facilitated ion diffusion, improved electronic conductivity, and an increased …
