In this paper, the single-phase Li2TiO3 powder was successfully synthesized via non-hydrolytic sol-gel method (NHSG) using anhydrous lithium acetate (LiOAc) as lithium source and tetrabutyl titanate (TBOT) as titanium source. The effects of the temperature and the Li/Ti molar ratio on the synthesis of Li2TiO3 were investigated by XRD. FT-IR and XPS were used to characterize the synthesis mechanism and surface chemistry of Li2TiO3 powder heated at 650 degrees C for 2 h with 5 degrees C/min. Furthermore, the Li2TiO3 pebbles were successfully prepared using synthesized powder by indirect wet chemistry method. The results showed that the Li2TiO3 pebbles with diameter of 1.3mm-1.5 mm, crush load of 67 N, sphericity of 0.97, the relative density of 84.9%, the grain size of 2.85 mu m and porosity of 19.84% were successfully fabricated when sintering temperature was 1050 degrees C for 2 h in air. Therefore,the NHSG method could provide a new efficient route for the production of Li2TiO3 ceramic pebbles.
