Abstract:
The effects of high temperature solid state synthesis condition on the structure, micro-morphology, pore diameter distribution and electrochemical properties of spinel Li
4Ti
5O
l2 for an Li
4Ti
5O
12/C hybrid electrochemical capacitor were investigated by XRD, SEM, BET and charge/discharge tests. The results show that the Li
4Ti
5O
12 sample obtained at 800℃ for 2 h has rich mesopores and exhibits better electrochemical properties. Its BET surface area reaches 4.4 m
2·g
-1 the specific capacity reaches approximately 150 mAh·g
-1 when charged and discharged at 175 mÅg
-l and the power performance and cyclelife is superior.
