Abstract:

Anode active material Li4Ti5O12/C has an advantage to increase the life time and the ability to charge and discharge lithium batteries. An experiment was carried out to make Li4Ti5O12/C more cheaper and simple process. Preparation of Li4Ti5O12/C was carried out with stoichiometric composition of raw materials TiO2 (Merck) and LiOH.H2O (Germany) under powder metallurgy method. After mixing and calcinations cassava starch as a source of carbon black coating could be mixed under comparison 1:1 with calcinations powders. Pyrolisis process was done in - situ by the sintering process at temperature variation, i.e. 800, 850 and 900°C for 1 hour. XRD test results indicated the presence of anatase TiO2 entire sample. The best results of powder Li4Ti5O12/C with in situ process under 850°C for 1 hour had conductivity in the order of 10-4S/cm and capacity round 5mAh/g. Carbon coating of cassava starch that is well identify in the black color of sample powder and EDX analysis, gave influence on electrochemical graphics of oxidation and reduction by cyclic voltammeter. The working voltage of Li4Ti5O12/C is in general 1.55V.
