Abstract

The precursor of TiNb₂O₇ is prepared via solid-phase synthesis with anatase and Nb₂O₅ as raw materials and then calcinated at 400℃, 800℃, 900℃, 1000℃ and 1100℃ respectively in air to prepare TiNb₂O₇ as electrode materials. The prepared materials are characterized by means of thermo-gravimetric analyzer, differential scanning calorimetry (TG-DSC), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and electrochemical test. The results show that the main reaction products of anatase and Nb₂O₅ at 900℃ is Ti₂Nb₁₀O₂₉. TiNb₂O₇ is obtained by the reaction of Ti₂Nb₁₀O₂₉ and rutile. The optimum calcination condition of pure monoclinic TiNb₂O₇ is 1100℃ for 8 h. TiNb₂O₇ anode material has an initial capacity of 278.4 mAh/g at 0.2C and the initial coulombic efficiency is 82.9%. In the meantime, TiNb₂O₇ has a good rate capacity, which can still reach 89% after 100 cycles at 1C rate.

Key words: synthesizing and processing technics for materials lithium-ion battery solid-phase synthesis TiNb₂O₇ electrochemical performance
