Spinel Li4Ti5O12 mesoporous nanoparticles were synthesized by a rapid microwave-assisted hydrothermal method.
This electrode delivers high discharge capacities of 174, 165, 157, 148, 137, 123 and 60 mAh g− 1 at 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 40 and 60 C (~ 10,000 mA g− 1), respectively.
These superior electrochemical properties result from its favorable morphology.
