The electroactive material may be a positive electroactive material (i.e., a cathode material) or a negative electroactive material (i.e., an anode material). The positive electroactive material may include a lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide (LiNiCoMnO2) (“NMC”); a lithium- and manganese-rich layered cathode material (“LLC”) (e.g., xLi2MnO3-(1?x)LiMO2, M=Mn, Ni, Co, x=0.05-0.95, for example, x=0.1, x=0.2, x=0.3, x=0.4, x=0.5, x=0.6, x=0.7, x=0.8); lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) (“LFP”); lithium manganese iron phosphate (LiMnxFe1?x(PO4)) (“LMFP”), Li(NixMnyCozAlp)O2, where 0≤x≤1, 0≤y≤1, 0≤z≤1, 0≤p≤1, x+y+z+p=1 (“NCMA”), LMO, or any combination thereof. The negative electroactive material may include silicon, silicon monoxide, graphite, or any combination thereof.
