Abstract:
1. A battery electrode comprising: (a) a scaffold material including pores having at least one length dimension of pores selected from about 0.5 nm to about 100 nm, wherein said scaffold material is a covalently bonded and interconnected three-dimensional network, and wherein said scaffold material has an electrical conductivity selected from about 10 (b) a metal oxide battery material filled within said pores, wherein said metal oxide battery material is electrochemically active, wherein said metal oxide battery material is fully reducible to the corresponding metal under battery reaction conditions, wherein said at least one length dimension of pores is a template to determine the size of said metal oxide material filled within said pores, and wherein the size of the largest crystallite of said metal oxide material is about the same as the largest pore contained in said scaffold material.
