Fast Charging

Researchers at PetroChina and University of Science and Technology of China designed mesoporous single-crystal lithium titanate (Li4Ti5O12, LTO) microrods as a fast-charging anode material for LIBs. The single-crystalline microstructure and interconnected pores are beneficial for lithium-ion diffusion and electrolyte penetration. The anode exhibited stable cycling (92% retention after 10,000 cycles at 20 C) and outstanding rate performance (≈169 mAh g−1 at 50 C) at low loadings and 136 mAh g−1 at 5C at 8–11 mg/cm2.
