PHYSICOCHEMICAL AND ELECTROCHEMICAL CHARACTERIZATION OF ALTERNATIVE ANODE MATERIAL, LI4TI5012 BY SOLID STATE ROUTE

Abstract

As the demand for better, lighter and more efficient microelectronic portable devices increases, the development of lithium ion batteries as power sources with high performance becomes essential .Within this frame work, alternative Li4Ti5O12 (LTO) anode materials has been prepared and characterized to assess its better electrochemical performance. Synthesis of LTO through solid state route is considered as economical, efficient and easy way for the mass production. Therefore, spinel type LTO is prepared using solid state reaction route. Further, the different physio- chemical characterization such as SEM, XRD, cell performance, and calculation for LTO has been performed to confirm the proper phase and structural formation. To optimize performance of lithium ion batteries in terms of good cycle ability, capacity and power density during the electrochemical analysis of batteries.
