The present invention relates to an amorphous anode active material, a preparation method of an electrode using the same, a secondary battery containing the same, and a hybrid capacitor, wherein the amorphous anode active material according to the present invention comprises at least one of a metal oxide or a metal phosphate, and the metal oxide or the metal phosphate is amorphous. The metal oxide has the form of MO X (0 < X ≤ 3), wherein M is at least one of molybdenum (Mo), vanadium (V), scandium (Sc), titanium (Ti), chromium (Cr), yttrium (Y), zirconium (Zr), niobium (Nb) and tungsten (W). The metal phosphate has the form of A x B y (PO 4 ) (0 ≤ x ≤ 2, 0 < y ≤ 2), wherein A is at least one of lithium (Li), sodium (Na) and potassium (K), and B is at least one of molybdenum (Mo), vanadium (V), scandium (Sc), titanium (Ti), chromium (Cr), yttrium (Y), zirconium (Zr), niobium (Nb) and tungsten (W). According to the present invention, the storage space of lithium, sodium, and the like and the diffusion velocity of ions thereof are increased by using an amorphous metal oxide or phosphate as an anode active material, thereby remarkably improving the capacity and velocity characteristics of a battery, the charged and discharged state of a finished battery is easily tracked or predicted because a charge/discharge voltage curve having a slope close to a straight line is shown, and compatibility with an anode of a lithium secondary battery, a sodium secondary battery and a hybrid capacitor is expected to be very high because an excellent cycle lifetime is shown. |
