NOVELTY - The lithium-ion battery comprises an anode (14) comprising electrodeposited structures, which have intermetallic composition comprising copper antimonide effective for reversibly intercalating lithium ions and is in electrical communication with a first electrode, a lithium-ion conducting solid-state electrolyte deposited on the structures, and a cathode material (16) interpenetrating spaces between the structures in electrical communication with a second electrode (18). The structures comprise wires (10), which have nanometer diameters and comprise high aspect ratio wires.    USE - Used as lithium-ion battery.    ADVANTAGE - The lithium-ion battery is small and lightweight, has long lifetimes, is capable of rapidly charging/discharging power and increases the diffusion rates of the lithium-ion between the cathode and anode by reducing the lithium-ion diffusion length between these two electrodes.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - The lithium-ion battery comprises an anode (14) comprising electrodeposited structures, which have intermetallic composition effective for reversibly intercalating lithium ions and is in electrical communication with a first electrode, a lithium-ion conducting solid-state electrolyte deposited on the structures, and a cathode material (16) interpenetrating spaces between the structures in electrical communication with a second electrode (18). The structures comprise wires (10), which have nanometer diameters and comprise high aspect ratio wires. The intermetallic composition comprises copper antimonide, which is electrolytically deposited into pores using pulsed electro deposition. The pores have a chosen diameter formed in a template such that wires are formed when the template is dissolved. The template comprises an alumina template. The electrolyte is conformally deposited onto the wires of the anode using electroreductive polymerization or electroreductive copolymerization. The electrolyte comprises an electrochemically reduced vinyl monomer comprising an acrylate. INDEPENDENT CLAIMS are included for:    (1) a method for producing a lithium-ion battery; and    (2) an electrode comprising electrodeposited structures having intermetallic composition.
