Recent studies on anatase TiO2 have demonstrated its capability of performing as an anode material for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) even though, due to poor conductivity, realistic applications have not yet been foreseen. In order to try to address this issue, herein, we shall introduce a cost effective and facile route based on the...

The development and the characterization of a nanostructured binder-free anode for lithium-ion batteries exploiting the germanium high theoretical specific capacity (1624 mAh g−1 for Li22Ge5 alloy) is herein presented. This anode secures remarkable performances in different working conditions attaining a 95% capacity retention at 1C (i.e., 1624...
