文摘

Li₂ZnTi₃O₈/C nanocomposite has been synthesized using phenolic resin as carbon source in this work. The structure, morphology, and electrochemical properties of the as-prepared Li₂ZnTi₃O₈ samples were analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM), Raman spectroscopy (RS), galvanostatic charge–discharge, and AC impedance spectroscopy. SEM images show that Li₂ZnTi₃O₈/C was agglomerated with a primary particle size of ca. 40 nm. TEM images reveal that a homogeneous carbon layer (ca. 5 nm) formed on the surface of Li₂ZnTi₃O₈ particles which is favorable to improve the electronic conductivity and inhibit the growth of Li₂ZnTi₃O₈ during annealing process. The as-prepared Li₂ZnTi₃O₈/C composite with 6.0 wt.% carbon exhibited a high initial discharge capacity of 425 and 159 mAh g−1 at 0.05 and 5 A g−1, respectively. At a high current density of 1 A g−1, 95.5 % of its initial value is obtained after 100 cycles.
