  abstract  = {The global warming fact has been calling for a change in our current energy infrastructure, which is based on fossil fuels. Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are one of our main tools that can serve our society for the desired transition from non-renewable energy sources to renewable ones, for instance, by opening the door of e-mobility with their high energy efficiency. However, the current state-of-art revealed that the electrode architecture has a crucial role in the obtained electrochemical performance of LIBs. In the traditional composite electrodes based on a physical admixture of components, particle-to-particle contact loss occurs between the electrochemically active metal oxide and conductive carbon additive, eventuate in poor electrochemical performance. On the other hand, hybrid electrode architecture provides nanoscopic chemical blending between the metal oxide and carbon, resulting in advanced electrochemical performance due to a continuous conductive network. However, the synthesis techniques for hybrid materials are limited to wet chemical synthesis. Therefore, the aim of this doctoral work is to explore novel synthesis approaches for the metal oxide/carbon hybrid materials and investigate their performances for LIBs with the comparison of their composite counterparts. For that purpose, this dissertation investigates the promising anode candidates for LIBs, namely, V2O3, Nb2O5, and Ti2Nb10O29, which were synthesized from their relatively cheap carbide sources via a new synthesis approach, chloroxidation or simple CO2 oxidation. The successfully-synthesized carbide-derived metal oxide/carbon hybrids displayed advanced rate handling abilities and cyclic stabilities compared to their counterparts.},
