Abstract

Li4Ti5O12 is a potential Li-ion battery anode material of for use in large-scale energy storage, considering its high safety, excellent cycling stability, environmental friendliness and low cost. It also presents attractive performance as anode material for Na-ion batteries. Nanostructuring and carbon coating endow Li4Ti5O12 electrodes with excellent rate capability by overcoming its intrinsic sluggish Li-ion diffusivity and low electronic conductivity. The gassing issue of Li4Ti5O12-based batteries is the main obstacle that hinders its practical application. Surface coatings on Li4Ti5O12 electrode or Li4Ti5O12 particles as well as employing effective additives for electrolyte are potential approaches to form stable film on Li4Ti5O12 electrode to circumvent the gas generation problem. The cathode materials, electrolyte systems as well as capacity matching of the two electrodes impose important influences on the cycling performance of Li4Ti5O12-based batteries.
