Optimizing performance of lithium­ion battery by nano­silicon addition mixed in LI4TI5O12 anode made using mechanochemical­hydrothermal method

Abstract

Li-ion batteries (LIBs) play a significant role due to their high gravimetric and volumetric energy, high power density, long cycle life and low self-discharge property [1]. The spinel Li 4 Ti 5 O 12 (LTO) is a highly promising anode material compared with the general graphitic carbon for use in 6
