Abstract

Sodium-ion hybrid capacitors are attracting great attention and are emerging as promising energy storage devices, with their remarkable footsteps in energy and power densities. However, the development of efficient electrode materials that result in a minimum trade-off between their energy and power densities, and that allow long-term cycling stability, still remains a challenge for realizing their full potential as an alternate energy storage system for commercial applications. Herein, for the first time, we study the sodium-ion intercalation pseudocapacitance behavior of brown TiO2 nanotubes for their application as an efficient anode material for Na-ion hybrid capacitors. We synthesized semicrystalline and crystalline anatase brown TiO2 nanotubes, aggregated in a flowerlike morphology, through a hydrothermal route, and performed detailed electrochemical studies. The kinetic studies reveal that semicrystalline brown TiO2 exhibits a Na-ion intercalation pseudocapacitive behavior with 57% of capacitive st...
