NOVELTY - Method of producing an anode material, comprises: preparing a mixture of initial components comprising lithium and titanium and introducing sources of dopants, chromium and vanadium into the mixture; homogenizing and pulverizing the mixture to obtain particles; and heat treating the prepared mixture stepwise in a controlled atmosphere of argon and acetylene while regulating the volume ratio of gases in the argon-acetylene stream of 999:1-750:250, respectively, according to a procedure comprising e.g. at a first stage heating the mixture to a temperature no higher than 350 degrees C.    USE - The anode material is useful: for lithium-ion electrochemical cells (ECCs) (claimed); and as a starting material for lithium-ion secondary batteries (storage batteries) designed for applications requiring large capacitance and high operating currents, including electric transport-hybrid electric vehicles, plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, battery electric vehicles, and portable electric power tools.    ADVANTAGE - The anode material has high electrochemical capacitance and good cycleability, and can operate at high discharge currents due to high electronic conductivity.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - Method of producing an anode material, comprises: preparing a mixture of initial components comprising lithium and titanium and introducing sources of dopants, chromium and vanadium into the mixture; homogenizing and pulverizing the mixture to obtain particles no greater than 0.5 mu in size; and heat treating the prepared mixture stepwise in a controlled atmosphere of argon and acetylene while regulating the volume ratio of gases in the argon-acetylene stream of 999:1-750:250, respectively, according to a procedure comprising: at a first stage heating the mixture to a temperature no higher than 350 degrees C; at a second stage continuing the heating in the 350-750 degrees C temperature interval at a rate no greater than 10 degrees C/minute to provide for solid-phase interaction of the components; at a third stage increasing the temperature of 840-850 degrees C and holding a resulting product at that temperature for no less than 1 hour; at a fourth stage decreasing the temperature to one of 520-580 degrees C at a rate no greater than 5 degrees C/minute, and holding the resulting anode material at that temperature for no less than 2 hours; and at a final stage blowing the anode material through with pure argon during cooling to a temperature of 40-60 degrees C and packaging the anode material.
