Popis: The intercalation of Li into micro- and nanocrystalline anatase xerogel powders using n-butyllithium and various preparation conditions has been studied by 6Li and 7Li solid-state NMR and X-ray absorption spectroscopy. The orthorhombic lithium titanate phase which forms for Li/Ti 0.30. These two lithium environments are assigned to Li+ ions in similar structural sites that are uncoupled (species A) and weakly coupled (species B) to conduction band electrons. Nanocrystalline anatase samples produced by sol−gel methods differ from microcrystalline anatase in that the proportion of species A is greater. NMR further suggests that the coordination number of species A cannot be greater than five while no definite conclusions could be reached from NMR concerning species B. Titanium ...
