Li4Ti5O12 (LTO) anode materials are successfully prepared by sol-gel method using butyl phthalate and lithium acetate as precursors.The phase and morphology of the material were characterized by X-ray diffraction,scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. The effects of calcination conditions and coating modification on transport properties of LTO were also studied.The results show that the ionic conductivity and electronic conductivity of the sample prepared at 800 ℃ and 10 h are 8.8×10-8 S/cm and 8.53×10-10 S/cm, respectively. The ionic and electronic conductivities of LTO/C are 4.35×10-7 S/cm and 9.63×10-8 S/cm, respectively.The electrochemical performance tests show that the first discharge capacity of carbon-coated active materials can reach 172.4 mAh/g at the ratio of 0.1 C.After 50 cycles at 5 C,the capacity retention rate can reach 94.4%,indicating a good electrochemical performance of the samples.
