Description
Lithium Titanate Product Overview
Lithium titanate spinel (Li4Ti5O12) is a white powder that is used instead of graphite as the anode in some lithium-ion batteries. It operates at about 1.55 V against lithium and has a theoretical capacity of about 175 mAh/g. Its crystal lattice barely changes during charging, which is why it is called a ‘zero-strain’ material.
These properties give LTO cells extremely long cycle life, very fast charging, good low-temperature performance and high safety, because lithium metal does not plate on the anode. The trade-off is lower cell voltage and energy density. LTO is used in electric buses, grid storage, uninterruptible power supplies and industrial equipment, often paired with cathodes such as Lithium Iron Phosphate.
The related compound Li2TiO3 (CAS 12031-82-2) is a different lithium titanate used in ceramics and fusion research. Other lithium materials in our range include Lithium zirconate and Lithium niobate.
