doi:10.3724/SP.J.1077.2012.00253

Abstract

Abstract: Titanium, lithium and carbon source compounds were mixed by ball milling firstly, then the slurry was spray dried to prepare spherical precursor. The porous spherical spinel Li₄Ti₅O₁₂/C powders were synthesized by calcining the precursor. XRD, SEM, TEM, BET testing and determination of the electrochemical properties show that the prepared Li₄Ti₅O₁₂/C powders are in form of spherical particles which is composed of nanocrystals. The specific surface area of Li₄Ti₅O₁₂/C powders is as high as 39.5 m²/g. The initial discharge specific capacities of the Li₄Ti₅O₁₂/C anode reach 172.2, 168.2 and 153.6 mAh/g at 0.1C, 1C and 5.0C rates, respectively. The Li₄Ti₅O₁₂/C anode also exhibits excellent cycle performance. The porous Li₄Ti₅O₁₂ material coated by carbon displays excellent high rate performance and cycling stability.

Key words: Li₄Ti₅O₁₂, porous, spherical, carbon coating, cycling capacity
