Doped lithium titanate is known to be able to reversibly cycle in the potential range from 3 to 0.01 V and this ability depends both on the nature of the dopant and the doping level. In this work Li₄Ti₅O₁₂ samples doped with Nd in the amount of 0.5 to 2.0% were studied. It was shown that while being cycled in the extended potential range, the samples with the doping level from 0.5 to 1.0% demonstrated the highest capacity.

This article show results of research work which focused on a new active materials for lithium ion rechargeable battery anode – reduced graphene oxide spheres, which made by blending of two liquids – hot vacuum oil in graphene oxide water dispersion, with subsequent reduction formed graphene oxide spheres in heated to 200°C vacuum oil. Investigated surface morphology, chemical bond structure and cyclic voltammetry of reduced graphene oxide spheres. Graphene oxide spheres show capacity 185 mA?h/g throughout 50 charge/discharge cycles.

Low-frequency electrochemical impedance spectroscopy in the frequency range from 12.5 to 5 · 10−4 Hz was used to study changes in standard lithium-thionyl chloride cells during their discharge. Analysis of possible equivalent circuits describing the experimental data shows that the behavior of the cells discharged to 70% can be simulated by finite diffusion impedance in this frequency range.

Within the work, an influence of manganese dopant on electrochemical performance of anatase titanium dioxide (Mn/Ti = 0.05; 0.1; 0.2) had been investigated. It was established that incorporation of Mn3+ into the TiO2 lattice results in the formation of Ti1−xMnxO2 solid solution and increased anatase unit cell volume from 136.41 Å3 (undoped sample) to 137.25 Å3 (Mn/Ti = 0.05). The conductivity of doped TiO2 rises up to two orders in magnitude.

Nanotubes of bronze titanium dioxide (TiO₂(B)) doped with vanadium were synthesized through hydrothermal reaction. The obtained material possesses mesoporous structure and large specific surface area of 180 m²/g. It was found that the incorporation of vanadium into TiO₂(B) lattice increases the volume of a unit cell. Additionally, the conductivity rose up to three orders of magnitude for doped titanium dioxide reaching the value of 1.70 ? 10 ^{? 8} S/cm.
