[0002] Spinel lithium titanate lithium intercalation material Li 4 Ti 5 o 12 (LTO) is an excellent material for a new generation of lithium-ion batteries due to its safety, environmental protection, rich raw materials and stress-free lithium intercalation; but its own conductivity is extremely low, at 10 -9 The magnitude of mohm-cm limits its application
[0003] Related patents on spinel-type lithium titanate-based lithium intercalation materials and their preparation processes have been disclosed at home and abroad. Patent 201110451727.8 discloses a method for preparing a negative electrode material for a nano-carbon-coated spinel lithium titanate battery. The disadvantage of the method is that the preparation steps are complicated, and it needs to be sintered twice under the conditions of the first atmosphere and the second atmosphere, which is not conducive to industrial production, and the performance of the prepared carbon nanotubes is not good.
Patent 201110223701.8 discloses a preparation method of nano-scale spinel-type lithium titanate, a lithium secondary battery negative electrode material. Although the preparation method is simple and easy, the electrode material has a high surface area and a low charge-discharge rate. The performance is not as good as the spinel lithium titanate electrode material coated with carbon nanotubes
