Abstract

The novel bimetal oxide composite of Li4Ti5O12 was successfully synthesized by solution growth technique. The structural and microstructural properties of synthesized powders were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), fourrier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), Raman spectroscopy,
scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray-spectroscopy (EDX). The electrochemical performance of the Li4Ti5O12 anode was investigated using galvanostatic charge-discharge techniques. The electrochemical property of the Lithium titanate anode was investigated. The good electrochemical
performance is ascribed to the stable lithium storage host structure, decreased electrochemical resistance and enhanced lithium-ion diffusion coefficient. Therefore, Li4Ti5O12 may be a promising alternative anode material for Li-ion batteries.
