We have investigated a novel Li₄Ti₅O₁₂ synthesis with high specific surface area, high crystallization and single phase and its mechanism. The method was performed with a solid phase synthesis by using CH₃COOLi·₂H₂O and anatase TiO₂ via Li₂TiO₃ as an intermediate in pre-sintering at 500°C and sintering at 750°C. This result showed specific surface area of 12 m²/g and single phase- Li₄Ti₅O₁₂ by applying the high specific surface anatase TiO₂ as a precursor.
