摘要: Abstract In this study, Li4Ti5O12/C (LTO/C) composites were successfully synthesized via a facile one-pot sol-gel method using citric acid as carbon source. The physical and electrochemical properties of the as-prepared extensively investigated. These analyses signify that uniformly coated layer from on surface LTO particles was found, also resulting in partial reduction Ti4+ to Ti3+ after sintering an inert atmosphere. Owing synergistic effect highly conductive coating mixed valence Ti4+/Ti3+, LTO/C composite electrode showed significantly improved high-rate capability stability, which delivered initial discharge capacity 165.7, 161.7, 153.9 147.9 mAh g−1 at charge/discharge current density 1, 5, 10, 20 C, respectively, even retained up 98% first cycle consecutive 50 cycles 20 C. This process may present pathway for large-scale preparation high-performance anode materials lithium-ion batteries.
