“…To overcome the common problems of this anode material, various anode materials with improved reversible capacity and stability over commercial graphite have been proposed for lithium-ion batteries. Among the studied anode materials, Li 4 Ti 5 O 12 (LTO) has been regarded as an attracting substitute anode material for graphite, because it has fast Li + insertion and de-insertion ability, excellent cycle reversibility and high thermodynamic stability due to its voltage plateau at 1.55 V vs. Li/Li + , which can avoid the reduction of the electrolyte on the electrode surface and hence improve the safety of lithium-ion batteries [4,5]. Moreover, unlike the conventional carbonous materials, which obviously expand and contract in volume during lithium insertion-deinsertion, it is considered as a zero strain material with negligible volume change during charging and discharging process.…”

“…The discharge capacity was 162.4 and 138.7 mAh g À1 at 1 and 10C after 100 cycles, respectively. [21] Kim and Park investigated the effect of doping Zr 4 + into LTO and fabricated 1 D Zr-doped Li 4 Ti 5 O 12 nanofibers. The LTO-Zr0.05 sample exhibited the best electrochemical performance.…”
Cu-doped Li4 Ti5 O12 -TiO2 nanosheets were synthesized by a facile, cheap, and environmentally friendly solution-based method. These nanostructures were investigated as an anode material for lithium-ion batteries. Cu doping was found to enhance the electron conductivity of the materials, and the amount of Cu doped controlled the crystal structure and content of TiO2 . In addition, the samples, which benefit from multiphases and doping, exhibited much improved capacity, cycle performance, and high rate capability over Cu-free Li4 Ti5 O12 -TiO2 . The discharge capacity of the 0.05 Cu-doped sample was 190 mAh g(-1) at 1C, and even 144 mAh g(-1) was obtained at 30C after 100 cycles. Moreover, after 500 cycles at 30C, the discharge capacity remained at approximately 130 mAh g(-1) . The excellent electrochemical performance of the cell demonstrated that Cu-doping was able to adjust and control the Li4 Ti5 O12 -TiO2 system appropriately.
“…10). [45][46][47] In the equivalent circuit, R e is the electrolyte resistance; R ct is the charge-transfer resistance; Z w is the Warburg impedance related to the diffusion of Li ions into the bulk electrodes, and CPE is the constant phase-angle element, involving double layer capacitance. Whether the EIS was tested initially or aftercan lead to rapid electron transport during lithiation/ delithiation process and thus result in significant improvement on the rate performance.…”

The lithium ion battery is the most promising battery candidate to power battery electric vehicles. For these vehicles to be competitive with those powered by conventional internal combustion engines, significant improvements in battery performance are needed, especially in the energy density and power delivery capabilities. Promising substitutes for graphite as the anode material include silicon, tin, germanium, and various metal oxides that have much higher theoretical storage capacities and operated at slightly higher and safer potentials. In this critical review, metal oxides-based materials for lithium ion battery anodes are reviewed in detail together with the progress which is made in my lab on that topic. Their advantages, disadvantages, and performance in lithium ion batteries are discussed through extensive analysis of the literature, and new trends in materials development are also reviewed. Two important future research directions are proposed and performed in my lab, based on results published in the literature: the development of composite and nanostructured metal oxides to overcome the major challenge posed by the high capacity of metal oxide anodes.
