Owning to sodium’s high abundance, relatively low cost, similar chemical properties to Li and very suitable redox potential of E0(Na+/Na) = -2.71 V versus SHE which is only 0.3 V above that of lithium, rechargeable sodium ion battery hold much promise as potential alternatives to current lithium ion batteries for energy storage applications. Carbon material is regarded as the most promising anode candidate for sodium ion battery. Particularly, carbon nanosheet with porous structure and high conductivity is expected to have improved sodium ion storage properties. In this paper, we present a two-step pyrolysis-based method for facile synthesis of porous carbon …

Series of spinel lithium titanate (Li4Ti5O12) materials were synthesized by one-step solid-state reaction using lithium acetate and TiO2 as raw materials under different temperatures (750/800/850 °C) and atmospheres (N2/air). The as-prepared Li4Ti5O12 materials were investigated by thermogravimetric analysis, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, cyclic voltammotry and charge-discharge test to analyze their crystal structures, microstructures and electrochemical performances. The results show that the Li4Ti5O12（L-800N）material obtained at 800 °C under nitrogen atmosphere exhibited better electrochemical performance and smaller particle size. The initial …
