Oxygen Vacancies‐Rich TiO2/C Nanofibers with Boron, Nitrogen Dual‐Doping for Ultrafast Sodium Storage

Abstract TiO 2 is an intercalation pseudocapacitive material with low potential and minor structural changes during the sodium storage process. However, the intrinsic electronic conductivity and ionic diffusion kinetics are not unsatisfactory for ultrafast sodium storage. Defect engineering plays a pivotal part in improving the sodium storage kinetics of TiO 2 anode materials. Now the common defect regulation methods are complicated. Herein, a simple NaBH 4 reduction method is proposed to produce rich oxygen vacancies and boron doping in nitrogen‐doped TiO 2 /C mesoporous nanofibers, and the finally obtained oxygen vacancies (OVs)‐rich TiO 2 /C nanofibers (TC‐OVs) also build internal vertical channels. This particular structure of TC‐OVs favors fast transport for electrons and ions, resulting in ultrafast rate capability (156 mAh g −1 , 2 A g −1 ) and long lifespan (139 mAh g −1 , 1000 cycles, 1.0 A g −1 ). The inspiring sodium storage performance of TC‐OVs benefits from the high pseudocapacitance contribution (94%, 5.0 mV s −1 ). This work provides a method to adjust defects and structures of TiO 2 electrode materials for ultrafast chemical energy storage.
