- The resultant physical and chemical properties of metal oxides are controlled by oxygen vacancies (OVs). This paper is a classic blend of theory (DFT) and experiment, where our theory predicts that OVs in TiO2 will give rise to improved electrical conductivity and lower energy barrier of sodaition allowing focused experiments to be realised allowing blue TiO2 to be engineered and applied as a Na-ion anode battery. Full characterization of the material is provided demonstrating that enlarged interlayer spacing stimulated by OVs gives rise to significant improvements in its performance with this approach readily extendable to other metals oxides.
