Abstract: Li4Ti5O12 is a promising anode electrode material in Lithium ion batteries. Using polyacrylamide as template and carbon source, spinel Li4Ti4.95Al0.05O12 and Li4Ti4.95Al0.05O12/C were successfully synthesized by modified solid state method. The results of X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Field-emission scanning electron microscopy show that highly crystalline Li4Ti4.95Al0.05O12 and Li4Ti4.95Al0.05O12/C materials without any impurity are obtained. The shape and size of particles are modified by polyacrylamide. The electrochemical performances of materials are investigated in the range of 1.0–2.5 V. The Li4Ti4.95Al0.05O12/C presents a higher specific capacity and better cycling stability than Li4Ti4.95Al0.05O12. The charge and discharge specific capacity of Li4Ti4.95Al0.05O12/C material are 159.2 and 160.8 mAh/g at 0.2C rate.
