Abstract

Disclosed herein are methods for making Zn 1−x Sn 1+x N 2 .

Claims (6)

1. A battery comprising a ternary nitride-anode that lacks Li wherein the battery further comprises Zn 1−x Sn 1+x N 2 wherein x does not equal zero.

2. The battery of claim 1 exhibiting increased stability against Li reduction in comparison to a battery of the same composition but lacking a ternary nitride-anode.

3. The battery of claim 1 exhibiting less than about 1 V insertion potential for Li.

4. A battery comprising a ternary nitride-anode that lacks Li wherein the battery further comprises ZnSnN 2 .

5. The battery of claim 4 exhibiting increased stability against Li reduction in comparison to a battery of the same composition but lacking a ternary nitride-anode.

6. The battery of claim 4 exhibiting less than about 1 V insertion potential for Li.
