Abstrakt: Li4Ti5O12 (LTO) is one of the material that has the potential as anode in lithium ion battery that is safe to use and has a long life cycle. In this research, LTO was synthesed by sol-gel method using oxalic acid as chelating material, it is expected to produce materials with smaller particles and homogeneous distribution. The LTO sol-gel compared to commercial LTO. Characterization was carried out by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The measurement of LTO battery performance is carried out by charge discharge and electron impedance spectroscopy. The sol-gel LTO has a purity of 99%, which is higher than 57% commercial LTO. The average particle size is 1 um, and the conductivity is 7.6x10[?]7 S.cm[?]1. While commercial LTO has a purity of 57%, the average particle size is 30 um and conductivity is 7.4x10[?]7 S.cm[?]1. Batteries with synthesized LTO anodes have a capacity of 25.9% higher in the first cycle and 110% higher in fifth cycles incomparison with batteries used commercial LTO anodes.
