Effects of F-Doping on the Electrochemical Performance of Na<sub>2</sub>Ti<sub>3</sub>O<sub>7</sub> as an Anode for Sodium-Ion Batteries

The effects of fluorine (F) doping on the phase, crystal structure, and electrochemical performance of Na<sub>2</sub>Ti<sub>3</sub>O<sub>7</sub> are studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and electrochemical measurements. F-doping...
