Synthesis and Formation Mechanism of Li4Ti5O12 Nanoarrays by Template Method

doi:10.3724/SP.J.1077.2011.00529

Abstract

Abstract: Li₄Ti₅O₁₂ nanoarrays were prepared with sol-filling template method. The morphology and structure of Li₄Ti₅O₁₂ nanoarrays were characterized by SEM, EDS and XRD. The experimental results show that spinel Li₄Ti₅O₁₂ nanoarrays with average diameter of 70nm are obtained by repeating the following steps for four times: immersing the porous AAO in sol of 0.8mol/L under -0.1MPa and drying at 80℃, then roasting at 900℃ for 20h in the air. The diameter and length of Li₄Ti₅O₁₂ nanoarrays are controlled by diameter, thickness, sol concentration and filling times, with the crystalline structure rested on the roasting time and temperature. On the basis of characterization for nanoarrays, a possible formation mechanism is supposed.

Key words: Li₄Ti₅O₁₂, nanoarrays, aluminum oxide template, filling, mechanism
