LiT Series – Lithium Titanates

The LiT series is our commercial range of high-purity (≥99%) lithium titanate (Li₄Ti₅O₁₂) powders. These are specifically engineered via solid-state synthesis to function as advanced Anode Active Materials (AAM) in high-performance lithium-ion batteries.

Using our LiT series LTO powder as an anode material offers several critical advantages over conventional graphite:

• Enhanced Safety: LTO operates at a higher electrochemical potential (~1.55 V vs. Li/Li⁺). This intrinsically prevents the formation of lithium dendrites during fast charging and limits the formation of an unstable Solid Electrolyte Interphase (SEI) layer, drastically reducing the risk of internal short circuits and thermal runaway.
• Superior Cycle Life: LTO is known as a "zero-strain" material, meaning its crystal structure undergoes negligible volume change during lithium-ion insertion and extraction. This structural stability results in an exceptionally long cycle life, often exceeding 10,000 cycles with minimal capacity degradation, which is ideal for applications demanding extreme durability.
• Fast Charging & Low-Temperature Performance: The stable structure allows for exceptionally high charge and discharge rates (high C-rates) with high efficiency. This performance is maintained even at low temperatures, a condition where graphite-based anodes are prone to irreversible lithium plating and significant performance loss.
• Cell Design Flexibility: LTO enables the use of lighter and more cost-effective aluminum current collectors instead of the denser copper required for graphite anodes, which can improve the overall gravimetric energy density of the battery cell.

Given its unique profile emphasizing safety, power, and longevity, our LiT powders are ideal for demanding sectors and applications, including:

• Heavy-Duty Mobility: Electric buses, port vehicles, and industrial machinery.
• Stationary Energy Storage (ESS): Grid-scale and commercial systems requiring high cycle life and reliability for frequency regulation.
• High-Performance Automotive: Premium electric vehicles or those operating in fleets where fast charging and long-term battery health are paramount.
• Mission-Critical Systems: Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS) and applications where operational safety is non-negotiable.

The primary difference is the particle size distribution (PSD). LiTMicro features micron-sized particles (d50 of 5-7 μm), offering a robust balance of performance and processability for standard applications. LiTNano consists of sub-micron, nano-scale particles (d50 of 300-400 nm), providing a much higher specific surface area to enhance rate capability and power density for the most demanding high-power applications.
