In this paper, we develop a novel strategy to synthesize Li4Ti5O12 by employing a triblock copolymer (F127) as the chelating agent and particle-restraint reagent. X-ray diffraction, Raman spectrum, nitrogen adsorption-desorption, scanning electron microscopy and high resolution transmission electron microscopy measurements are performed to characterize the structures and morphologies of the as-derived samples. Highly crystallized and pure-phase Li4Ti5O12 is synthesized at a low calcination temperature of 750 degrees C, owing to the effective complexation of F127 with Ti+ and Li+ through coordination bonds. Moreover, the grain growth of Li4Ti5O12 is effectively restrained by the carbon generated from the carbonization of F127 in the calcination process, and a small particle size of Li4Ti5O12 (similar to 20 nm) is successfully obtained. The electrical conductivity is enhanced to 8.2 x 10(-3)S m(-1) due to the formed carbon-network on the surface of the sample. The as-derived nanocrystalline Li4Ti5O12 is tested as the anode material for lithium ion batteries, exhibiting excellent reversible capacities of 166, 160, 155, 139 and 123 mA h g(-1) at current densities of 1 C, 5 C, 10 C, 20 C and 40 C, respectively. The cell also demonstrates good capacity retentions and high coulombic efficiencies (similar to 100%) at all current rates. The excellent electrochemical performance makes our Li4Ti5O12 a promising anode material for high energy/power density lithium ion batteries.
