Abstract

Na2Ti3O7 and Na2Ti6O13 are two typical titanate-based sodium-storage materials, featuring the high theoretical capacity and favorable structure stability, respectively. Regulating the ratio of them in the composite material is the key to strengthen its electrochemical characteristics. Herein, based on the high specific surface area and abundant surface functional groups of carbon dots(CDs), sodium titanate precursors containing CDs were in situ prepared by one-step hydrothermal method. After the thermal conversion of the precursors, a composite material(NNTO/C) of Na2Ti3O7 and Na2Ti6O13 was obtained, containing conductive carbon derived from CDs. The introduction of conductive carbon not only adjusts the composition ratio of the mixed phases, but also provides a small charge transfer impedance(R ct, 7.48 Ω) and a big specific surface area(100.8 m2/g). As a result, NNTO/C composites exhibit better sodium storage behavior while playing the synergistic interaction of mixed phases. When employed as the anode, after 200 cycles at 0.05 A/g, NNTO/C still maintains a specific capacity of 143.8 mA‧h/g. After 400 cycles at 1.00 A/g, the specific capacity remains as high as 108 mA‧h/g. This study suggests an innovative thinking for designing two-phase structures of electrode materials and the greater use of CDs in electrochemical energy storage.
