Graphite, as a form of carbon, is used in many types of Li-ion batteries. The electrochemical properties of graphite are very good for these applications. However, increasing the volume of the cell during the discharge/charge process of the battery is not a desirable feature. This can lead to overheating or even explosion of the cell. Therefore, the materials that can replace graphite are sought. Such a material can be a composite consisting of Li4Ti5O12 with a carbon material doped with copper and nickel ions. In this case, the addition of sucrose was used for better dispersion of these ions. In this way, the conductivity of the material can be improved. Anodes without carbon addition based on Li4Ti5O12 (LTO) do not change their volume during discharge/charge cycles, but have low conductivity. A significant aspect of the use of sucrose in this composite is the lack of soot addition to the cell anode. Hence, the discussed composites significantly contribute to environmental protection and safety of selected Li-ion cells. In this work, three new anode materials with stoichiometric composition Li3.8CuxNi0.2-xTi5O12 calcined with 10% sucrose were synthesized. A positive effect of sucrose addition on the cell anode operating parameters was demonstrated. Among the materials tested the preferred composition of material composition is Li3.8Cu0.05Ni0.15Ti5O12-C.
