An anode material for a lithium ion device includes an active material including silicon and boron. The weight percentage of the silicon is between about 4 to 35 weight % of the total weight of the anode material and the weight percentage of the boron is between about 2 to 20 weight % of the total weight of the anode material. The active material may include carbon at a weight percentage of between between 5 to about 60 weight % of the total weight of the anode material. Additional materials, methods of making and devices are taught. |
