Bimolecular-induced hierarchical nanoporous LiTi2(PO4)3/C with superior high-rate and cycling performance

We employed a facile bimolecular (glucose and DMEA) assisted hydrothermal reaction and a solid-state reaction to obtain carbon-coated hierarchical LiTi2(PO4)3 on a large scale. The nanoporous material exhibits excellent high-rate and cycling performance owing to enhanced electronic conductivity from the ultrathin carbon layer, Ti3+ and the shortened path for Li+ diffusion by nanoporous frameworks.
