Abstract

Nanofiber structured Na₂Ti₃O₇ was synthesized via electrospinning process which was further used as an anode material for sodium-ion batteries for the first time. One-dimensional construction of Na₂Ti₃O₇ composite could contribute to better electrochemical activity. It was demonstrated that the capacity of Na₂Ti₃O₇ nanofibers was significantly improved to 257.8 mAh g⁻¹ at 30 mA g⁻¹. Furthermore, the rate capability of Na₂Ti₃O₇ nanofibers was significantly enhanced, showing charge capacities were 161.8, 116.5, and 72.4 mAh g⁻¹ at 100, 200, and 400 mA g⁻¹, respectively. Therefore, improved specific capacity and rate capability made Na₂Ti₃O₇ nanofibers composite as a promising anode material for sodium-ion batteries.
