Abstract
Abstract
Spinel-type Li4Ti5O12 is an attractive anode material for lithium-ion battery applications owing to its high specific energy and almost vanishing mechanical strain upon Li-(de)intercalation. The impact of oxygen non-stoichiometry and aliovalent Mg-doping on the defect chemistry of Li4Ti5O12 has been characterized by quantitative electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. The results obtained demonstrate that the Mg2+-ions are amphoterically incorporated at the here studied concentrations on both lithium (MgLi
•) and titanium (Mg′′Ti) sites. Mg2+-doping thus simultaneously results in the formation of donor (MgLi
•) and acceptor (Mg′′Ti) centers. Furthermore, upon both oxygen deficiency and Mg2+-doping, the concentration of `polaronic'-type Ti3+-states is increased, accounting for the enhanced electronic conductivity.
