英文摘要：

As anode material for lithium ion battery,Li4Ti5O12 doesn＇t change its crystal structure during lithiation and de-lithiation, and therefore, it is regarded as a ＂zero strain＂ material. The lithium ion battery using Li4Ti5O12 as an anode material exhibits excellent cycle performance and service life. A review on the research progress in synthesis of Lh Li4Ti5O12 using soft chemical methods, such as solvent evaporation, sol-gel process and hydrothermal method, is reported in this paper. The advantages and disadvantages of different synthesis methods are compared and reviewed. At last, the development trend of Li4Ti5O12 are discussed.
