Claims
- 1. An apparatus comprising:
a body having dimensions suitable as an electrode component of an electrical storage device, the body having a fibrous form comprised of a moiety of the general formula: (Ma)x(Yb)y, wherein M is a metal selected from at least one of Groups IV through IX of the Periodic Table of the Elements, wherein a is greater than or equal to one, wherein Y includes a heteroatom selected from one of oxygen, nitrogen, carbon, and boron, wherein x is the valence state of the cation, and wherein y is the valence state of the cation.
- 2. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein M is selected from the group consisting of molybdenum, tungsten, hafnium, zirconium, ruthium, iridium, and manganese.
- 3. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the body comprises a plurality of fibers, each fiber comprising the moiety.
- 4. The apparatus of claim 3, wherein the plurality of fibers are combined in a weave.
- 5. An apparatus comprising:
a first electrode and a second electrode disposed in a cell; and an electrolyte in fluid contact with the first and second electrode, wherein each of the first electrode and the second electrode comprises a body having a fibrous form comprised of a moiety of the general formula: (Ma)x(Yb)y, wherein M is a metal selected from at least one of Groups IV through IX of the Periodic Table of the Elements, wherein a is greater than or equal to one, wherein Y includes a heteroatom selected from one of oxygen, nitrogen, carbon, and boron, wherein x is the valence state of the cation, and wherein y is the valence state of the cation.
- 6. The apparatus of claim 5, wherein M is selected from the group consisting of molybdenum, tungsten, hafnium, zirconium, ruthium, iridium, and manganese.
- 7. The apparatus of claim 5, wherein the body comprises a plurality of fibers, each fiber comprising the moiety.
- 8. The apparatus of claim 7, wherein the plurality of fibers are combined in a weave.
