Pristine and boron-doped anatase TiO2 were prepared via a facile sol–gel method and the hydrothermal method for application as anode materials in sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). The sol–gel method leads to agglomerated TiO2, whereas the hydrothermal method is conducive to the formation of highly crysta...
