ABSTRACT
Anatase TiO2 with high theoretical capacity is emerging as an appealing anode for sodium-ion storage. Nevertheless, the inherent poor conductivity limits its practical use. In our work, anatase TiO2/PPy composite material in 10wt.% PPy content was synthesized via a high energy ball-milling method. The electrochemical tests demonstrated its notable Na storage capability. The charge capacity of the first cycle reached 207.5 mAh g−1 at 0.1 C, and maintained at 191 mAh g-1 after 40 cycles. Even after a long-term cycling of 150 weeks at rate 1 C, the electrode exhibited a high specific capacity of 103.5 mAh g−1.
