Abstract
Provided is a Libattery comprising an anode comprising an anode active material comprising a plurality of transition metal (TM)-substituted binary transition metal (TM) oxide nanocrystals, a cathode in electrical communication with the anode, a separator between the anode and the cathode, and an electrolyte in contact with the anode and the cathode. The anode active material, in a lithiated state, is characterized by a three-dimensional network of the TMand nanoparticles of LiO and nanoparticles of the TM, both types of nanoparticles distributed throughout the network. In a delithiated state, the anode active material is characterized by the network of the TMand nanoparticles of an oxide of the TMand nanoparticles of an oxide of the TM, both types of nanoparticles distributed throughout the network. The TM-substituted binary TMoxide may be characterized by a ratio of TM/TMof at least about 5.
