Abstract The titanium oxide (TiO2) has considered as an anodic material in a rechargeable battery due to its structural and electrochemical stability. However, TiO2 is hardly used in sodium ion battery because it has low electrical conductivity. Thus, in this study, the TiO2/graphene hybrid with spherical hollow structure was synthesized via layer-by-layer self restacking by electrostatic interaction onto soft polymer template. According to the electron microscopic studies, the obtained TiO2/graphene hollow spheres show that the products were formed with spherical hollow structure and their size was sub-micrometer. And in the energy dispersive spectroscopy results, the titanium and carbon atoms were homogeneously distributed in the final product. The FT-IR and Raman spectra show that the graphitic carbon was maintained in the TiO2/graphene hollow sphere. In the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, the obtained products have higher electrical conductivity than the bulk TiO2. The half-cell tests for sodium ion battery show that the obtained TiO2/graphene hollow sphere has higher specific capacity and better cycling performance at various current rates than those of the bulk TiO2. The present TiO2/graphene hollow sphere could be used as anodic materials for sodium ion batteries with enhanced performance.
