摘要: Abstract In this study, we presented the design and preparation of a double nano-carbon modified Li4Ti5O12 composite, where an amorphous carbon layer derived from thermal decomposition stearic acid (SA) was coated on surface Li4Ti5O12, while decorated with carbon-nanotubes (CNTs) as conductive network. A series Li4Ti5O12–SA/CNTs composite prepared by changing amount added SA CNTs, effects their proportion electrochemical properties as-prepared composites were systematically investigated. It found that when used anode materials for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), Li4Ti5O12–CNTs/SA adding 0.4 wt.% (mCNTs:mLi4Ti5O12) CNTs 12 wt.% (mSA:mLi4Ti5O12) showed remarkably high discharge specific capacity 215.8 mA h g−1 retention reached 96.7% delivering stable 145.0 mA h g−1 after 100 cycles at rate 5 C. Our work revealed there is cooperative effect resulted proper SA, enabling significant improvement performances LIBs.
