The present disclosure generally relates to a method for electroplating (or electrodeposition) a transition metal oxide composition that may be used in gas sensors, biological cell sensors, supercapacitors, catalysts for fuel cells and metal air batteries, nano and optoelectronic devices, filtration devices, structural components, and energy storage devices. The method includes electrodepositing the electrochemically active transition metal oxide composition onto a working electrode in an electrodeposition bath containing a molten salt electrolyte and a transition metal ion source. The electrode structure can be used for various applications such as electrochemical energy storage devices including high power and high-energy primary or secondary batteries.
An anode structure comprising a conformal coating of a transition metal oxide formed by electrodepositing, in the presence of inert atmosphere, an electrochemically active transition metal oxide onto a surface of a working electrode from a molten salt electrolyte having the working electrode immersed therein, the molten salt electrolyte comprising a transition metal ion source, NaOH, and KOH,
