Abstract
Spinel Li4Ti5O12 doped with F was synthesized via the solid-state reaction of anatase TiO2, Li2CO3, and NH4F. The structural characterization and electrochemical performance evaluation of the prepared materials were carried out utilizing X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, galvanostatic charge-discharge, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and cyclic voltammetry (CV) tests. The lattice parameters of all samples were calculated using an internal standard and Rietveld refinement method. The results indicate that the F was successfully doped into the lattice structure of Li4Ti5O12, and this process did not influence the crystal structure and superficial morphology. Moreover, the best-performing material, Li4Ti5O11.9F0.1 delivers superior rate capacities of 165, 162.1, 160.0, 142.3, 125.1, and 99.2 mAh g?1, at 0.2 C, 0.5 C, 1 C, 3 C, 5 C, and 10 C, respectively, which is higher than those of Li4Ti5O12 (150.0, 135.0, 123.5, 93.7, 76.4, and 56.8 mAh g?1 at the same C-rates), and the cycling retention is 82.7% after 150 cycles at 5 C. Meanwhile, the charge-transfer resistance (Rct) of Li4Ti5O11.9F0.1 (56.4 ?) is lower than that of pure Li4Ti5O12 (80.6 ?), and the lithium-ion diffusion coefficients (DLi+) of Li4Ti5O11.9F0.1 (2.505
