Nitrogen-doped carbon-coated lithium titanate(Li₄Ti₅O₁₂/NC) composites with high performance were prepared via the sol-gel method by using tetrabutyl titanate as the titanium source, lithium monohydrate as the source of lithium, citric acid as carbon source and carbamide as the source of nitrogen. The composites were characterized by X-ray diffraction(XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS), Focuier transform infrared spectrometer(IR), thermal gravimetric analyzer(TG), scanning electron microscoy(SEM) and transmission electron microscopy(TEM). The results show that the composites are consisted of Li₄Ti₅O₁₂ with a NC coating layer. The Li₄Ti₅O₁₂/NC material with 9.48% of NC exhibits a better electrochemical performance. It delivers a capacity of 212.9 mA·h/g at the first discharge under 1C, after 100 cycles at 1C, it still retains a capacity of 160.1 mA·h/g. The NC coating does not change the material's morphology, but inhibits the growth of composite particles and increases the active site for Li⁺ ion insertion/extraction, and thus improves the rate capacity and electronic conductivity.
