The invention relates to a
lithium titanate anode material for
lithium ion batteries and a preparation method thereof. The
anode material takes a
lithium source, a
titanium source and a
carbon source as raw materials, wherein the
mole ratio of Li to Ti is 4.0-4.3:5; and the
doping amount of the
carbon source is 1 to 30 percent based on the total
mass of the lithium source and the
titanium source.The preparation method comprises the following steps of: 1) weighing the lithium source, the
titanium source and the
carbon source according to the
mole ratio and the
mass ratio respectively; 2) dissolving the lithium source and the carbon source into a
solvent, dissolving the titanium source into the same
solvent, adding the solution of titanium source into the solution of lithium source and carbon source, and performing stirring and ultrasonic mixing; 3) adding
ammonia water, controlling the pH value of the
mixed solution, performing stirring and heating to volatilize the
solvent and the
ammonia water to form viscous jelly, and performing vacuum heating and oven-
drying to obtain a precursor dried gel; 4) under the protection of an
inert gas, heating and
roasting the precursor dried gel,cooling the precursor dried gel to
room temperature, and then crushing and
grinding the precursor dried gel; 5) performing mould-pressing to obtain a module; and 6) under the protection of the
inert gas, heating and
roasting the module again, cooling the module to the
room temperature, and then performing crushing,
grinding, sieving and oven-
drying to obtain the
lithium titanate anode material for the lithium
ion batteries.
