Preparation and Electrochemical Performance of Li₄Ti₅O₁₂/Co₃O₄ Composite as an Anode of Lithium-Ion Battery

Abstract:

The Li₄Ti₅O₁₂/Co₃O₄ composites were prepared by hydrothermal reaction method with different Co₃O₄ mass content (3%, 7%, 11%, and 15%). The Li₄Ti₅O₁₂ nanoparticles were set in-situ on the Co₃O₄ sheet. Co ion was doped into the Li₄Ti₅O₁₂ lattice. The first cycle specific capacity firstly increased and then decreased with Co₃O₄ content increasing, which the discharge capacity reached the peaking value that the first capacity was 1111 mAh/g and the specific discharge capacity retained 240 mAh/g after 200 cycles. After 200 cycles of charge and discharge, the retention of the capacity was 96.4% at 0.1 A/g, and the retention of the capacity was 98.4% at 0.5 A/g.
