Touching the theoretical capacity: synthesizing cubic LiTi2(PO4)3/C nanocomposites for high-performance lithium-ion battery†
Abstract
A cubic LiTi2(PO4)3/C composite is successfully prepared via a simple solvothermal method and further glucose-pyrolysis treatment. The as-fabricated LTP/C material delivers an ultra-high reversible capacity of 144 mA h gā1 at 0.2C rate, which is the highest ever reported, and shows considerable performance improvement compared with before. Combining this with the stable cycling performance and high rate capability, such material has a promising future in practical application.
