Lithium titanate was synthesized; without and with 5, 10, 15 and 20% excess lithium.

Pebbles were fabricated and sintered at 900 °C for 6314d9c5825032c" title="Click to view the MathML source">h$h$.

XRD analysis of the synthesized powders, confirmed the formation of single phase Li₂TiO_3,${\text{Li}}_2{\text{TiO}}_{3,}$ when 0–10% excess of lithium.

Multiple phases were present when more than 10% excess lithium was used.

Morphological modifications of mesoscopic structure in Li₂TiO₃${\text{Li}}_2{\text{TiO}}_3$ pebbles with excess lithium were investigated using USANS and SEM.
