Description

Lithium titanate (full name lithium metatitanate) is a compound containing lithium and titanium. It is an off-white powder at room temperature and has the chemical formula Li2TiO3.

It is the anode component of the fast recharging Lithium-titanate battery. It is also used as an additive in porcelain enamels and ceramic insulating bodies based on titanates. It is preferred as a flux due to its stability.

The crystallization of Li2TiO3 is a monoclinic system. A monoclinic system of crystallization is defined as three unequal axes with one oblique intersection.
