Hydrolysis Precipitation-assisted Solid-state Reaction to Li4Ti5O12 and its Electrochemical Properties
OPEN ACCESS
Spinel lithium titanate (Li4Ti5O12) materials were synthesized by a hydrolysis precipitation-assisted solid-state method in the temperature range from 600 to 900℃ for large-scale production. DSC/TGA, XRD and SEM were used to characterize the as-prepared samples. The optimum synthesis condition was examined in relation to the charge–discharge performance. It was found that when the dry hydrolysis precipitation precursor with 8% Li excess was calcined at 700–800℃ for 12 h in air, a pure Li4Ti5O12 phase was obtained. The as-obtained material has the best electrochemical performance due to its narrow size distribution and precise stoichiometry of the oxide.
