Abstract
Ultrathin Li 4 Ti 5 O 12 (LTO) nanosheets were successfully synthesized for the first time using the ultrathin titanate nanowires as a precursor. The synthesized Li 4 Ti 5 O 12 nanosheets have a large surface area of 159.2m2g-1 and their thickness was found to be ca. 5–7 nm. These nanosheets were highly crystalline and used as anode materials in rechargeable lithium-ion batteries. A stable capacity of 150 mAhg-1 for LTO nanosheets can be retained after 70 cycles at a current density of 1 Ag-1 in the voltage window of 2.5–1.0 V. It is notable that a large capacity of 267.5 mAhg-1 was obtained at the second discharge and 166 mAhg-1 can be retained after 70 cycles at 1 Ag-1 in the voltage range of 2.5–0.02 V. These results indicate that the anode materials made of spinel LTO nanosheets displayed a large reversible capacity at a high charge/discharge rate.Keywords
