There is an increasing need to develop robust manufacturing and processing methods for high power and high energy density nanostructured electrodes. In this work, carbon nanotube (CNT) fabric foams of various thicknesses, up to approximately 200 µm, were used as flexible, porous, and conductive scaffolds for the electrodeposition of MoO<sub>3</sub>, a high energy density transition metal oxide that intercalates a variety of cations. Electrodeposition of MoO<sub>3</sub> from aqueous electrolytes is a readily scalable synthesis technique that leads to conformal deposition of the oxide throughout the thickness of the CNT foams. The electrochemical behavior, structure, and morphology of the obtained nanoarchitectured electrodes were studied as a function of synthesis conditions. This research demonstrates the scalable nanomanufacturing of an advanced electrode architecture that exhibits both high power and high energy density.
