This study describes a high-energy and durable aqueous battery system with metastable and nanosized Mo-based oxides used as high-capacity negative electrodes. A wider electrochemical window is achieved with concentrated aqueous electrolytes through which highly reversible Li storage without the decomposition of water molecules is achieved for the Mo-based oxides. A full cell with an Mn-based oxide shows good capacity retention over 2,000 cycles. X-ray absorption spectroscopy reveals that the solid-state redox reaction of Mo ions reversibly proceeds in aqueous electrolytes for the metastable Mo oxide. This study opens a way to develop high-energy, durable, and safe batteries on the basis of metastable and nanosized oxides with aqueous electrolyte solutions.
