Lithium Titanate Oxide Micron Powder (LTO) for Li-ion Battery Anode

As all we may know  lithium ion batteries  include cathode and anode parts. One of the most used material for anode part is graphitic carbon. Graphitic carbon is chosen for long cycle life and low cost. But there are some problems with  graphitic carbon  such as safety and low lithium ion diffusivity in the graphite lattice. In the studies related to this field it was found that lithium titanate oxide which has the chemical formula of Li 4 Ti 5 O 12  can be used as alternative anode material to graphitic carbon.  Lithium Titanate Oxide Micron Powder (LTO) for Li-ion Battery Anode  shows stable charge/discharge platform and possesses excellent cycling stability and unique safety characteristic owing to its negligible volume change and high redox potential upon Li-ion intercalation/deintercalation. Of course, the studies are going on to improve the performance of lithium titanate oxide as anode materials. However, coarse lithium titanate shows poor ...
