In this work we investigate Li4Ti5O12 (LTO) anode material synthesized by conventional solid state reaction method calcined at 850 degrees C for 16 h. Thermal analysis reveals the temperature dependence of the material properties. The phase composition, micro-morphology and elemental analysis of the compound are characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive spectra (EDS) respectively. The results of XRD pattern possessed cubic spinel structure with space group Fd-3m. The morphological features of the powder sample are in the range of 1.1 mu m. The EDS spectra confirm the constituent elemental composition of the sample. Electrical conductivity measurement at different frequencies and temperatures had been carried out; and at room temperature it is found to be 5.96 x 10(7) S/cm. Besides, for the different frequencies applied, the activation energies were calculated and obtained to be in the range of 0.2-0.4 eV. (C) 2018 Published by Elsevier B.V.
