We report the extraordinary performance of carbon-coated sodium super ion conductor (NASICON)-type LiTi2(PO4)3 as an ideal host matrix for reversible insertion of both Li and Na ions. The NASICON-type compound was prepared by means of a Pechini-type polymerizable complex method and was subsequently...
