Résumé

Samples of Li ₄ Ti ₅ O _12−y solid solutions are synthesized by one-step solid-state carbothermal reduction reaction using Li ₂ CO ₃ , anatase, and carbon black under a nitrogen atmosphere. The underlying formation mechanism that leads to Li ₄ Ti ₅ O _12−y solid solutions is proposed. The formation mechanism of the Li ₄ Ti ₅ O _12−y solid solution is investigated by in situ variable temperature X-Ray diffraction (VT-XRD) and thermogravimetric analysis/differential scanning calorimetry (TGA-DSC). First, some Ti ⁴⁺ centers are converted to Ti ³⁺ (TiO ₂ -TiO _2−x ) because of the presence of carbon black. Secondly, Li ₂ CO ₃ reacts with TiO _2−x (anatase) to form Li ₂ TiO ₃ . Thirdly, Li ₂ TiO ₃ reacts with TiO _2−x to form the Li ₄ Ti ₅ O _12−y solid solution, while anatase starts to transform into rutile at the same time. Rutile reacts with Li ₂ TiO ₃ to form Li ₄ Ti ₅ O _12−y at higher temperatures. The presence of Ti ³⁺ not only improves the electrical conductivity but also improves the ionic conductivity. As a result, the as-prepared material exhibits good rate capability and cycling stability with 99.3% capacity retention after 200 cycles.
