Superior rate performance of Li4Ti5O12/TiO2/C/CNTs composites via microemulsion-assisted method as anodes for lithium ion battery

- Li4Ti5O12/TiO2/Carbon/Carbon nanotubes composite is prepared via reversed-phase microemulsion-assisted solid state reaction method.
- Excess amount of carbon can prevent the growth of Li4Ti5O12 and lead the appearance of impure phase of TiO2.
- Li4Ti5O12/TiO2/Carbon/Carbon nanotubes composite delivers superior rate performance and cycle performance
