The special spherical structure design is not only beneficial to improving the structural stability and reaction kinetics of the electrode materials during the long-term extraction-insertion of sodium ions but also supplies numerous interfacial sites to store more sodium ionRSC advances26782-26788https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC9490776biostudies-literatureNano/micrometer porous conductive network structure Li₄Ti₅O₁₂@C/CNT microspheres with enhanced sodium-storage capability as an anode material.PMC9490776Yu LChe RZhu GYang QfalseNano/micrometer porous conductive network structure Li₄Ti₅O₁₂@C/CNT microspheres with enhanced sodium-storage capability as an anode material.Li₄Ti₅O₁₂@C/CNT microspheres, wherein CNTs were firmly anchored to Li₄Ti₅O₁₂@C nanoparticles, were prepared <i>via</i> a facile spray drying method and subsequently annealed in an argon atmosphere, exhibiting long cycling stability (charge/discharge capacities of 85.45/86.18 mA h g^-1 after 500 cycles at 500 mA g^-1) and excellent rate capability (charge capacity of 61.16 mA h g^-1 after 10 cycles at 1000 mA g^-1).
