Lithium Titanate/Carbon Nanotubes Composites Processed by Ultrasound Irradiation as Anodes for Lithium Ion Batteries

Abstract In this work, lithium titanate nanoparticles (nLTO)/single wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) composite electrodes are prepared by the combination of an ultrasound irradiation and ultrasonic spray deposition methods. It was found that a mass fraction of 15% carbon nanotubes optimizes the electro...
