The effects of fluorine (F) doping on the phase, crystal structure, and electrochemical performance of Na2Ti3O7 are studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and electrochemical measurements. F-doping does not change the crystal structure of NTO, although it has an effect on the morphology of the resultant product. As an anode material for sodium-ion batteries, the specific capacity of Na2Ti3O7 exhibits a 30% increase with F-doping owing to the improved sodium ion diffusion coefficient. F-doped Na2Ti3O7 also displays an enhanced rate capability and favourable cycling performance for more than 800 cycles.

Deriving battery grade materials from natural sources is a key element to establishing sustainable energy storage technologies. In this work, we present the use of avocado peels as a sustainable source for conversion into hard carbon based anodes for sodium ion batteries. The avocado peels are simply washed and dried then proceeded to a high temperature conversion step. Materials characterization reveals conversion of the avocado peels in high purity, highly porous hard carbon powders. When prepared as anode materials they show to the capability to reversibly store and release sodium ions. The hard carbon-based electrodes exhibit excellent cycling performance, namely, a reversible capacity of 352.55 mAh/g at 0.05 A/g, rate capability up to 86 mAh/g at 3500 mA/g, capacity retention of >90%, and 99.9% coulombic efficiencies after 500 cycles. This study demonstrates avocado derived hard carbon as a sustainable source that can provide excellent electrochemical and battery performance as anodes in sodium ion batteries.
