The high-rate performance of the newly designed Li4Ti5O12/Cu composite anode for lithium ion batteries

Amorphous Carbon Coated High Grain Boundary Density Dual Phase Li4Ti5O12‐TiO2: A Nanocomposite Anode Material for Li‐Ion Batteries

“…Various research groups have focused on developing strategies to overcome this problem, such as reducing particle size, [ 26 , 27 ] doping with other metals or metal oxides, [ 28 , 29 ] and coating with conductive carbons. [30][31][32][33] In contrast to the metal additives, carbon has a low mass density, and adding carbon is a cheap way to enhance conductivity and affect the morphology and electrochemical performance of the materials. In addition, carbon can improve the diffusion coeffi cient of lithium ions in Li 4 Ti 5 O 12 .…”

Influence of Li addition on charge/discharge behavior of spinel lithium titanate

“…It has shown a Li-ion insertion and extraction reversibility and good structural stability with zero-strain during the charge/discharge processes [3,5,6], inducing longer cycle life and better safety compared with carbon materials. This material accommodates Li-ions with a theoretical capacity of 175 mAh g −1 with excellent cyclability and displays a mid-discharge platform approximating 1.55 V vs. Li/Li + [4,[7][8][9]. In most studies, Li 4 Ti 5 O 12 powders or thin films have been successfully synthesized using solid-state reaction [10,11], electrostatic spray deposition [12], ball-milling [13,14], sol-gel method [9,15], spray-drying/pyrolysis [1,4,7,16,17], and colloid templated method [18].…”

Li4Ti5O12/C composite electrode material synthesized involving conductive carbon precursor for Li-ion battery

“…Various research works have focused on developing strategies to overcome this problem, such as reducing particle size [12,13], doping Li 4 Ti 5 O 12 with other metals or metal oxides [14,15], and coating Li 4 Ti 5 O 12 with conductive carbons [16][17][18]. In these materials, carbon is considered a good electric conductor, which is widely used in Li-ion batteries.…”
