Biomass-derived　nitrogen-doped　carbon　(BDNDC)　is　attracting　increasing　attention　as　a　sustainable　approach　for　potential　application　in　energy　conversion　and　storage.　The　use　of　BDNDC　as　a　matrix　to　embed　metal　oxide　nanoparticles　has　seldom　been　reported,　even　though　such　composites　may　possess　the　merits　of　both　components　to　suit　a　broad　range　of　applications.　Inspired　by　the　recipes　used　to　bake　cakes,　we　demonstrate　here　an　external　water-free　synthesis　of　TiO2　nanoparticles　embedded　in　a　BDNDC　matrix,　in　which　a　foam　of　chicken　egg　white　and　Ti(SO4)(2)　is　obtained　simply　by　beating　with　a　domestic　electric　whisk　and　subsequently　annealed　under　a　reducing　atmosphere　at　different　temperatures.　Anatase-BDNDC,　anatase/rutile-BDNDC　and　TiO2(B)/rutile-BDNDC　samples　are　obtained　at　550,　720,　and　880　degrees　C,　respectively.　Moreover,　the　obtained　TiO2-BDNDC　composites　can　be　used　as　anode　material　for　lithium-ion　batteries　and　also　exhibit　high　performance.　This　study　lays　the　groundwork　for　the　benign　synthesis　of　other　metal　oxide-BDNDC　or　metal-BDNDC　composites　that　show　promise　for　use　in　alternative　clean　energy　technologies　and　environmental　science.
