Abstract
This application relates to oxide particles, preferably transition metal oxide particles, made via the application of a voltage across an electrolyte solution. The electrolyte solution includes a transition metal salt dissolved in water, and preferably also includes a compound for increasing the electrical conductivity of the electrolyte. The particles made by the processes disclosed herein, can have sizes in the micrometer or nanometer ranges. The oxide particles can have a variety of uses, including for charge storage devices. As an example, manganese oxide particles, and methods for making the same, are disclosed for a variety of uses including lithium ion batteries.
