  • First Online:
Functional Metal Oxide Nanostructures

Part of the book series: Springer Series in Materials Science ((SSMATERIALS,volume 149))

Abstract

Lithium-ion battery is a promising electrochemical energy storage technology to meet the emerging energy demands. Metal oxides in their various nanostructures have been extensively investigated as electrode materials for Li-ion batteries due to their unique properties. In this chapter, current investigations on metal oxides as anode materials are discussed based on their different reaction mechanisms to lithium. The latest studies on nanostructured lithium metal oxide cathode materials such as lithium iron phosphate are also discussed to provide some insight into their exceptional electrochemical performance.
