Novel type $Li_{1.1}V_{0.9-2x}W_xMo_xO_2$ powders were prepared by a solid-state reaction of $Li_2CO_3$, $V_2O_3$, $WO_2$ and $MoO_2$ precursors in a nitrogen atmosphere containing 10 mol % hydrogen gas, and assessed as anode materials in lithium-ion batteries. The specific charge and discharge capacities of the $Li_{1.1}V_{0.9-2x}W_xMo_xO_2$ anodes were higher than those of the bare $Li_{1.1}V_{0.9}O_2$ anode. The cyclic efficiency of these anodes was approximately 73.3% at the first cycle, regardless of the presence of W and Mo doping. The composite anode, which was composed of $Li_{1.1}V_{0.75}W_{0.075}Mo_{0.075}O_2$ (20 wt %) and natural graphite (80 wt %), demonstrated reasonable specific capacity, high cyclic efficiency, and good cycling performance, even at high rates without capacity fading.
