A transition metal hydroxy-anion electrode material for lithium-ion battery cathodes includes the charge-neutral structure Mx(OH)n(XO4)m, where M is one or more transition metals, x is the total number of transition metal atoms, X is sulfur or phosphorus, and x, n, and m are integers. (OH)n(XO4)m is a hydroxysulfate or hydroxyphosphate, and M can be one or more (e.g., a solid solution of) transition metals selected from the group consisting of copper, iron, manganese, nickel, vanadium, cobalt, zinc, chromium, and molybdenum. A lithium-ion battery may have a cathode including Mx(OH)n(XO4)m as a cathode material, and an electronic device may include a lithium-ion battery having a cathode including Mx(OH)n(XO4)m as a cathode material.

Exfoliating transition metal oxide lithium intercalation particles having lithium ions intercalated between transition metal oxide nanosheets includes electrochemically oxidizing a transition metal in first transition metal oxide lithium intercalation particles from a first oxidation state to a second oxidation state, inserting first cations having a radius exceeding the radius of a lithium ion into the vacancies, reducing the transition metal from the second oxidation state to the first oxidation state, and exfoliating the transition metal oxide nanosheets from the second transition metal oxide lithium intercalation particles to yield dispersed transition metal oxide nanosheets comprising the transition metal in the first oxidation state and oxygen. The dispersed transition metal oxide nanosheets can be reassembled to yield a material suitable for a lithium-ion battery cathode. Metal oxide sodium intercalation particles can be similarly exfoliated and reassembled to yield a material suitable for a sodium-ion battery cathode.
