How It Compares

Within the titanate anodes class.

Within the diverse group of titanate anodes, LiTiFeO4 occupies a unique position compared to more conventional members like Li2TiO3. While many titanates are primarily explored for their lithium-insertion properties, the inclusion of iron in the lattice of LiTiFeO4 introduces distinct electronic characteristics that differentiate it from the simpler alkali-metal titanates such as Na2Ti3O7.
