Anatase Titania Nanorods as an Intercalation Anode Material for Rechargeable Sodium Batteries

For the first time, we report the electrochemical activity of anatase TiO2 nanorods in a Na cell. The anatase TiO2 nanorods were synthesized by a hydrothermal method, and their surfaces were coated by carbon to improve the electric conductivity through carbonization of pitch at 700 °C for 2 h in Ar ...
