Abstract

Nano-Li4Ti5O12 pore microspheres were synthesized by hydrothermal and subsequent calcination methods using Ti-(OC4H9)4 and LiAc.2H2O as raw materials. TEM analysis highlights the excellent crystallinity of the nano-sized Li4Ti5O12 primary particles with the size between 30-40 nm. As anode material of lithium ion batteries, the nano-Li4Ti5O12 exhibits higher capacity and better rate capability, delivering the 1 C capacity close to the theoretical value of 175 mAh g-1, 10C capacity of 133 mAh g-1 and even 60 C capacity of 80 mAh g-1. The ameliorated electrode-performance is ascribed to nanostructure of the material that provides shorter diffusion-paths and faster migration rate for both of ions and electrons.
