ALKALI METAL TITANATES AND METHODS FOR THEIR SYNTHESIS

摘要

Disclosed is a doped lithium titanate and its use as an electrode in a battery. Further disclosed is a method for making an alkali metal titanate, which method includes mixing an alkali metal compound and a titanium compound, impact milling the mixture, and heating the milled mixture for a time, and at a temperature, sufficient to convert the mixture to the alkali metal titanate. The alkali metal compound can be in the form of Li₂CO₃ and the titanium compound can be in the form of TiO₂. A dopant may be included in the mixture.
