Synthesis and lithium storage properties of porous Li4/3Ti5/3O4-M/MOx (M=Ni,Co) composites

- Porous LTO, LTO/M, LTO/MOx are synthesized by a simple sol-gel method.
- Porous LTO and LTO/M display superior performance as anode materials.
- In LTO/MOx, MOx particles are supported on macroporous LTO matrix.
- This architecture represents a new concept for the improvement of conversion-type electrodes.
