- Additional information
- Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) are crucial for scalable electrical energy storage due to the abundance and availability of Na. The anode still remains a great challenge for upscaling SIBs. Carbons are good candidates to insert Na, provided they are of low cost. We have made tubular carbons from natural cotton with good rate performance and capacity. This is a collaboration with Prof. Yong Sheng Su at CAS, an Advanced Newton Fellow in Prof Titirici’s group. It has also facilitated 1.3 M successful EPSRC proposal awarded to Prof. Titirici as PI as well as several poster prices in UK (UKEES) and China.
