Summary: Sodium and potassium ion batteries are promising candidates for next-generation energy storage devices. However, the limited storage capacity and poor structural stability of carbon anodes pose challenges. In this study, ultra-high N-doping carbons with open carbon nano-cages were prepared, allowing precise control of N-doping level. The optimized N-doped carbons show excellent performance in sodium ion batteries and potassium ion batteries, achieving high rate capability and cyclic stability.

Summary: A TiO2-coated MoP/phosphorus doped carbon nanorod with a new structure was successfully synthesized through an in situ topological conversion technique using TiO2-coated Mo-MOF as the precursor. TEM results showed that TiO2 nanoparticles were distributed at the interface between the MoP core and the P-doped carbon shell, facilitating ion transport. GITT results demonstrated that TiO2 significantly improved the diffusion coefficient of sodium ions. This material showed promising capabilities as an anode substance for sodium-ion batteries.
