Effect of particle size on the conductive and electrochemical properties of Li2ZnTi3O8

详细

We have studied the effect of final annealing temperature on the formation of lithium zinc titanate, its electrical conductivity, and its electrochemical performance. Li₂ZnTi₃O₈ has been shown to form in a wide range of annealing temperatures, from 673 to 1073 K. Its particle size increases systematically with increasing annealing temperature, whereas its conductivity decreases. The highest electrochemical capacity at low currents is offered by the materials annealed at 773 and 873 K, and the highest cycling stability is offered by the material prepared at 873 K.
