METALLIC ION INTERCALATED LAYERED STRUCTURES

A system and method for forming a metallic ion intercalated layered structure can include a housing, an electrolyte disposed in the housing, a counter-electrode disposed in the housing, and a working electrode disposed in the housing. The working electrode comprises a metallic support; and an electrode paste. The electrode paste can include an active material and a binder. The system can be used to form a layered structure having metallic ions from the metallic support intercalated into the layered structure based on cycling the working electrode.
