The alkali-ion storage in spinel lithium titanate (Li4Ti5O12) is comprehensively investigated in this work. In Li4Ti5O12, Na storage is more dependent on the particle size compared to Li storage. Electrochemical results show a Na-storage capacity from 150 to 16mAhg(-1), with increasing particle size from 50 to 500nm, whereas the Li-storage capacity appears to be independent of particle size. The Na-storage rate capability in Li4Ti5O12 is much worse than that of Li, probably because of the sluggish Na+ diffusion in Li4Ti5O12. Abinitio molecular dynamics simulations also indicate that this can be attributed to the slow diffusion kinetics of Na+ in spinel Li4Ti5O12.
