We have developed the use of coordinating ligands in aqueous solutions to facilitate the direct electrodeposition of crystalline intermetallics at room temperature. Particular focus has been paid to copper antimonide as a high capacity anode material for Li-ion batteries. Results will be presented that show that compositional tuning of this material by varying the electrodeposition parameters results in high capacity and cycle life, and that the deposition of this material onto a variety of architectures enables good power density.
