Indigenous Electrode Material, Lithium Titanate LTO for EV Applications

Readiness Level:

IPDI Level: 7 (Checking Repeatability/ Consistency at Prototype Level)

Key Features:

1. Identified sources of cost-effective lithium and Ti precursors.
2. The processing Cost of 1 Kg of LTO is Rs.1700 developed at ARCI. Cost can be reduced by 20% by designing suitable cost-effective large capacity furnace and optimum heating cycles with less time.
3. ARCI developed LTO’s electrochemical performance in terms of specific capacity; cyclic stability and rate capability is at par with the performance of the commercially available LTO.
4. Considering the existing facilities for LTO, the batch size of 72 kgs per day is being produced.

Possible Applications:

1. LiB batteries used in electric vehicle applications.
