Microstructural details of spindle-like lithium titanium phosphate revealed in three dimensions.

ABSTRACT: Lithium titanium phosphate LiTi₂(PO₄)₃ is an electrode material for lithium-ion batteries with a specific capacity of 138 mA h g^-1. Owing to its potential of 2.5 V vs. Li/Li⁺ it provides an electrochemically stable interface when used as an anode in all-solid state batteries with NASICON type lithium aluminium titanium phosphate electrolyte. High performance has been identified for in situ carbon coated LiTi₂(PO₄)₃ synthesized via a hydrothermal route, resulting in micro-scaled spindle shaped particles consisting of nano-scaled sub-particles. To elucidate the internal microstructure of these spindle-like particles in three dimensions we applied tomographic Focused Ion Beam - Scannin
