ANODE MATERIALS FOR ELECTROCHEMICAL CELLS AND METHODS OF THEIR SYNTHESIS

Electroactive anode materials for energy storage devices and applications and electrodes comprising them are presented herein. Additionally, methods of manufacturing such materials are disclosed, including forming a precursor electroactive anode material via solid-state synthesis or co-precipitation and converting the precursor electroactive anode material to an electroactive material through ion-exchange. Compositions comprising electroactive anode material (e.g., HWO) and electrodes incorporating these materials for use in electrochemical cells are also presented.
