We report a Li-ion battery that can be charged within few minutes, passes the safety tests, and has a very long shelf life. The active materials are nanoparticles of LiFePO4 (LFP) and Li4Ti5O12 (LTO) for the positive and negative electrodes, respectively. The LiFePO4 particles are covered with 2wt.% carbon to optimize the electrical conductivity, but not the Li4Ti5O12 particles. The electrolyte is the usual carbonate solvent. The binder is a water-soluble elastomer. The “18650” battery prepared under such conditions delivers a capacity of 800mAh. It retains full capacity after 20,000 cycles performed at charge rate 10C (6min), discharge rate 5C (12min), and retains 95% capacity after 30,000 cycles at charge rate 15C (4mn) and discharge rate 5C both at 100% DOD and 100% SOC.
