Nanocrystalline LiTiO2 was synthesized using a one-step hydrothermal method. XRD and SAED patterns of the samples both confirmed the formation of rock salt-type LiTiO2 with a lattice constant of a = 4.14Å. A TEM image of the sample shows very clear nanocrystalline LiTiO2 with an average particle size of 36.5nm and a standard deviation of 8.0 nm. An FT-IR spectrum of the LiTiO2 confirms the absorption of CO2 molecules on the surface of the samples. A UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectrum of the sample shows a blue shift of 28 nm compared with P25 (TiO2) and a Raman spectrum of the LiTiO2 displays the seven characteristic allowed bands at 158, 193, 245, 430, 688, 865, and 1090 cm-1. The nanocrystalline LiTiO2 can be used as an anode electrode material for Li-ion batteries.
