In this paper, Li1-xTi2(PO4)(3)/C composites (x = 0, 0.03, 0.05, 0.07) were synthesized by sol-gel approach, and the influence of Li vacancy on electrochemical performance of LiTi2(PO4)(3)/C anode for aqueous rechargeable lithium battery was studied. Li vacancy hardly influences the crystal structure and morphology of the composite. Electrochemical measurement results demonstrated that Li1-xTi2(PO4)(3)/C exhibited better performance compared with pristine LiTi2(PO4)(3)/C, and Li0.95Ti2(PO4)(3)/C has the best properties. Li0.95Ti(PO4)(3)/C delivered the discharge capacity of 104.3, 92.6, and 71.8 mAh g(-1) at 0.2, 5, and 20 degrees C (1 C = 150 mA g(-1)), 4.1, 27.3, and 34.4 inAh g(-1) larger than that of Li0.90Ti2(PO4)(3)/C at corresponding rates, respectively. After 1000 cycles at 5 C, the discharge capacity retention for Li0.90Ti2(PO4)(3)/C can reach 75.3%, 15.4% larger than that for LiTi2(PO4)(3)/C. Our study reveals that Li vacancy is an efficient method to enhance the electrochemical properties of LiTi2(PO4)(3)-based materials.
