| Summary: | This study investigates the enhancement of Li2TiSiO5 anode material through Na doping via two routes: melt-quenching (route I) and subsequent heat treatment (route II). A 5 % Na-doped ceramic sample significantly improves Li-ion mobility and discharge capacity (215 mA h g−1 at 10 mA g−1), sustaining 45 mA h g−1 at a high rate of 1 A g−1. However, higher doping levels hinder performance, indicating Li-ion path obstruction and non-conductive impurities. Intriguingly, undoped Li2TiSiO5 glass exhibits superior electrochemical performance, with a discharge capacity of 340 mA h g−1 at 10 mA g−1 and high-rate endurance (81 mA h g−1 at 1 A g−1). This research provides insights into phase-dependent optimization, highlighting the glass phase's inherent benefits for Li-ion diffusion. It addresses a significant research gap, offering critical understanding for advancing high-energy-density anode materials in next-generation batteries. |
