Abstract

Abstract : In article number1901584, Wei Yan, Guorui Yang, and co‐workers present direct in‐situ growth of free‐standing hierarchically branched TiO2 /C nanofibers based on electrospinning and an alkali‐hydrothermal process as anode for sodium‐ion batteries. The large surface area, flexible feature and pseudocapacitive Na + storage behavior provide the branched nanofibers with abundant active sites, smooth channels for fast ion transportation, and therefore, excellent sodium storage performance.
