Abstract
Transition metal oxides (TMOs) based on conversion reactions are very promising anode materials for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) because of their high theoretical capacity, low cost, and safety characteristics. In this article, the recent progress and remaining challenges of nanostructured TMOs (single metal oxides and their binary metal oxides) as high-capacity anode materials for LIBs are summarized and discussed, covering the rational design and efficient synthesis of nanostructured TMOs with diverse morphologies, compositions, and hierarchical nanostructures, along with their Li storage behaviors. Finally, the prospects, challenges, and potential future research directions toward the practical application of nanostructured TMOs for LIBs are provided.
