Abstract
One of the renewable energy storage systems that are widely used today is the rechargeable lithium-ion battery. There are four main components in the rechargeable lithium-ion battery, one of which is anode. In this research, LiTi2(PO4)3 with nasicon-type crystal structure is introduced as a candidate for anode material for aqueous electrolyte lithium ion battery. Conductive coating process is applied to improve the conductivity of LiTi2(PO4)3 by heating sucrose at 600°C for 3 hrs in an argon gas to form carbon-coated LiTi2(PO4)3 (LiTi2(PO4)3/C). The content of carbon in LiTi2(PO4)3/C is measured as much as 8%, 13%, and 17.2% wt. CV results show that the addition of carbon can improve the stability, electronic conductivity, and specific capacity LiTi2(PO4)3. In the charge-discharge results, LiTi2(PO4)3 with 8% of carbon enhance the intercalation lithium ion with the highest charge capacity of 45.9 mAh/g after 100 cyclic. Based on all the results, LiTi2(PO4)3 could be the potential candidate as anode for aqueous electrolyte lithium ion batteries.
