Efforts on enhancing the Li-ion diffusion coefficient and electronic conductivity of titanate-based anode materials for advanced Li-ion batteries

Titanate-based compounds have been considered as a hopeful family of anode materials for high-performance lithium-ion batteries due to the “zero-strain” characteristics, low cost, excellent safety and high potential plateau, and free generation of metallic Li and solid electrolyte interphase film. Nonetheless, the large-scale applications of titanate-based compounds are limited by the intrinsically low Li-ion diffusion coefficient and poor...
