Lead lithium titanate (PbLi2Ti6O14) was synthesized by combustion route restricting the annealing at 900 degrees C to just 1 minute. Rietveld analysis confirmed orthorhombic (Cmca) product phase with an average particle size similar to 200 nm and surface area of 2 m(2)/g forming secondary porous particles. From bond valence site energy (BVSE) calculations, 1 D ionic conduction was found along c axis with low activation energy (0.23 eV). AC conductivity analysis revealed a bulk conductivity of 2 x 10(-7) S. cm(-1) at room temperature and 1 x 10(-4) S. cm(-1) at 200 degrees C with a switch from extrinsic 1D to intrinsic 2D mechanism at 150. C. Li + diffusion coefficient was calculated to be in the order of 10(-12) cm(2). s(-1). More than 4 lithium (per f. u.) could be reversibly (de) inserted delivering capacity over 160 mAh/g with good cycling retention over 1000 cycles. With a feasible rapid synthesis, good diffusional and electrochemical behavior especially high rate capability, PbLi2Ti6O14 can act as a safe 1.35 V anode for rechargeable Li-ion batteries.
