The commercial electrode Li 4 Ti 5 O 12 was modified with SiO 2 and TiO 2 -SiO 2 . All samples were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM), particle size distribution (PSD), porous structure parameters (low-temperature N 2 sorption), galvanostatic charge-discharge test, cyclic voltammetry (CV), and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Appropriate amount of TiO 2 -SiO 2 and SiO 2 could effectively reduce the electrochemical polarization of Li 4 Ti 5 O 12 and enhance electrochemical reaction kinetics of Li + insertion/ deinsertion. Moreover, Li 4 Ti 5 O 12 /TiO 2 -SiO 2 provides a high rate capacity of 165 mAh g −1 at the high current density of 0.5 C. To investigate cycle stability of the electrode materials at high current density, the measurements were directly carried out at 3 C. SEM images of the LTO/TiO 2 -SiO 2 , LTO, and LTO/SiO 2 particles after galvanostatic charging/discharging show that they were coated by a uniform layer (the SEI layer).
