Tritium breeder materials are significant for the blanket design of a fusion reactor. Because of its good chemical stability and available tritium release behavior, Li2TiO3 has been selected as one of leading candidates for ceramic breeder materials. During a blanket operation, defects are introduced into tritium breeder materials by high energy ne...

Recently, a consensus has been reached that using lithium metal as an anode in rechargeable Li-ion batteries is the best way to obtain the high energy density necessary to power electronic devices. Challenges remain, however, with respect to controlling dendritic Li growth on these electrodes, enhancing compatibility with carbonate-based electrolyt...

The dual-layer Li2TiO3 coating of LiNi0.5Co0.2Mn0.3O2 (NCM523) compound has been successfully synthesized by a facile method for the first time. The EDS results show that the dual-layer coating is more uniform and smoother than the single-layer coating. Electrochemical tests show that the double-layer 0.5 mol % Li2TiO3-coated NCM can deliver an ini...

Rock salt-structured (1 − x)Li2TiO3–xNiO (0 ≤ x≤0.5) solid solutions were prepared via a conventional solid-state method. The structure evolution, sintering behavior, and microwave dielectric properties were investigated systematically. The phase transition from an ordered monoclinic to a disordered cubic phase was observed as x increased from 0 to...

Ferrotitanium alloy is prepared by electrochemical reduction from ilmenite in LiCl-KCl and LiCl-KCl-CaCl2 molten salts, respectively. The products prepared are observed by x-ray diffraction (XRD). It is shown that Fe2Ti can be prepared from ilmenite in LiCl–KCl molten salt at 1073 K with a cell voltage of 3.2 V. Ilmenite can be electrochemically re...

We fabricated the low-fired (1 − x)Li2ZrO3–xZnO (0.1 ≤ x ≤ 0.5) composite ceramics doped with 3 wt% LiF by a conventional solid-state route, and investigated systematically their sintering characteristics, microstructures and microwave dielectric properties. The results showed that Li2ZrO3 and ZnO coexist in the sintered ceramics, and temperature s...

Low temperature sintering behaviors, microstructures, and microwave dielectric properties of 11Li2O-3Nb2O5-12TiO2 (LNT) ceramics with Li2O-B2O3-SiO2 (LBS) glass additions were investigated. The XRD patterns reveal two phases, the “M-phase” and “ss-phase” Li2TiO3 solid solution phases. The results suggest that small amount of LBS glass could effecti...

The effects of TiO2-(∼60 nm) and Li2TiO3-(∼20 nm) nanoparticles on the conductivity, structure, and mechanical strength of (polyether diacrylate-LiClO4-ethylene carbonate)-based polymer gelelectrolytes are studied. When the gel-electrolytes are synthesized with the TiO2- and Li2TiO3-nanoparticles ultrasonic pretreatment, both polyether diacrylate a...

To improve the carbon dioxide (CO2) absorption performance of lithium orthosilicate (Li4SiO4), tablet-like Li4Si1−xTixO4 and Li3.9Na0.1Si0.96Ti0.04O4 sorbents with loose and porous texture were prepared by a sol–gel process. The relationship between the Ti doping and volume expansion was studied for the first time. The results indicated that the Ti...
