ABSTRACT

 


The invention provides a kind of lithium titanateanode material and its preparation method. The method includes the following steps: dispersing nanocarbon materials in a certain of solvent and making nanocarbon slurry; adding lithium and titanium compounds into the slurry according to the mole ratio of lithium and titanium at 3.5-4.5:5, respectively, and mixing them, forming the precursor dispersion; the precursor dispersion is sprayedto form granulation, and get the precursor powders; then, the precursor powders are treated at 800-900 oC for 1-10 hours, producing lithiumtitanate composite anode materials. The preparedlithium titanate/nanocarbon composite materials in this invention can enhance the loading of active materials, increasing the energy density of the electrodes.
