description Amidst the swift expansion of the electric vehicle industry, the imperative for alternative battery technologies that balance economic feasibility with sustainability has reached unprecedented importance. Herein, we utilized Perovskite-based oxide compounds barium titanate (BaTiO<sub>3</sub>) and strontium titanate (SrTiO<sub>3</sub>) nanoparticles as anode materials for lithium-ion batteries from straightforward and standard carbonate-based electrolyte with 10% fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC) additive [1M LiPF<sub>6</sub> (1:1 EC: DEC) + 10% FEC]. SrTiO<sub>3</sub> and BaTiO<sub>3</sub> electrodes can deliver a high specific capacity of 80 mA h g<sup>−1</sup> at a safe and low average working potential of ≈0.6 V vs. Li/Li<sup>+</sup> with excellent high-rate performance with specific capacity of ~90 mA h g<sup>−1</sup> at low current density of 20 mA g<sup>−1</sup> and specific capacity of ~80 mA h g<sup>−1</sup> for over 500 cycles at high current density of 100 mA g<sup>−1</sup>. Our findings pave the way for the direct utilization of perovskite-type materials as anode materials in Li-ion batteries due to their promising potential for Li<sup>+</sup> ion storage. This investigation addresses the escalating market demands in a sustainable manner and opens avenues for the investigation of diverse perovskite oxides as advanced anodes for next-generation metal-ion batteries.
