High-rate electrode materials are the key to fast-charging batteries that can store large quantities of charge in minutes or even seconds. Here the authors introduce adaptive carbon layer to oxygen defective Ti2Nb10O29 forming composite electrodes that deliver impressive rate performance and stability.
