Abstract: The solid-state reaction mechanism between Li2CO3 and TiO2 forming Li2TiO3 has been studied by XRD. The relationship between reaction rate and temperature and the dependence of the reactant fraction (a) on the heating time were investigated. The activation energy of the reaction has been calculated to be 166.2 kJ/mol. The reaction mechanism conformed to the Ginstling-Brounstein model. It is proposed that Li+ ions diffuse into TiO2 particles during the reaction.

Key words: metatitanate lithium, ion exchanger, synthesis, solid state reaction kinetics
