- The first report of carbon dots inducing rutile TiO2 nanoparticles-to-nanoneedles transition, which further self-organise into 3D petal-like nanostructures. The resultant uniquely engineered nanostructure, where TiO2 is wrapped by ultrathin graphene‐rich layers are thoroughly characterised and shown to provide outstanding performance as Na-ion battery anodes, which exhibit high‐rate capabilities, and long‐term cyclelife over other previous literature endeavours. This work is published in a significant journal and has influenced the field (citations) leading the way for other researchers to tailor unique nanostructures through graphene encapsulation providing a significant approach to improving the electrochemical energy‐storage systems for metal/metal oxides materials.
