For this, the NaTi2(PO4)(3)/rGO microsphere composite was prepared via a facile spray drying method using a solution mixture of graphene oxide, NaH2PO4 center dot 2H(2)O, Ti(OC2H5)(4) and NH4H2(PO4)(3), in which all the components of the titanium were present as ionic species in order to facilitate the chemical bonding between NaTi2(PO4)(3) and rGO in the composite. The NaTi2(PO4)(3)/rGO microsphere composite had a TiO-C bond between NaTi2(PO4)(3) nanoparticles (< 80 nm) and rGO and interconnected nanoporous structures. The NaTi2(PO4)(3)/rGO microsphere composite exhibited a near theoretical specific capacity of 133 mA h g(-1) at a 0.1 C-rate and excellent rate capability (70% capacity retention at a 50 C-rate) with very stable cycling performance (only 2% capacity loss after 200 cycles at a high rate of 10C). Furthermore, the energy density and power density of the NHC assembled with a NaTi2(PO4)(3)/rGO anode and an AC-based cathode are far better than those of other NHCs assembled using other metal oxide-based anodes and AC cathodes.
