Deciphering the structural and kinetic factors in lithium titanate
Lithium titanate (Li 4 Ti 5 O 12 or LTO) serves as a prevalent anode material in lithium-ion batteries , with charge mainly stored within LTO through the Li 4 Ti 5 O 12 (Li 4) ⇌ Li 7 Ti 5 O 12 (Li 7) phase transition.This phase transition, from Li 4 to Li 7, demonstrates minimal volume expansion (<0.2 %) during lithium insertion/extraction, earning LTO the nickname/title
