“…14,[21][22][23] All the three proposed Na-ion redox mechanisms nd their own support from different experimental results. [23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40] Recently, it was found that the sodiation processes in the internal region and near the surface region of a-TiO 2 particles differed signicantly. 35,37,38,41 Furthermore, the literature also demonstrates that the sodiated phase compositions of a-TiO 2 depend strongly on the morphology, 33,42 crystallinity, 43,44 surface status, 24,[45][46][47] particle size, 48 cycling numbers, 23,25,31,47,49 and solid electrolyte interphase (SEI)-controlled Na-ion diffusion kinetics.…”
