Abstract Metastable orthorhombic niobium pentoxide (T‐Nb ₂ O ₅ ) is a promising anode to fulfill the requirements for high‐rate Li‐ion batteries (LIBs). Stoichiometric T‐Nb ₂ O ₅ is plagued by low electric conductivity and particle pulverization after repeated charge/discharge processes. In this work, oxygen vacancies are implanted into T‐Nb ₂ O ₅ particles via acid immersion of Nb ₂ O ₅ · n H ₂ O with the formation of Lewis acid sites. The multiple characterizations and simulations reveal the lengthening of NbO bonds, and the transformation from NbO ₇ pentagonal bipyramids and NbO ₆ tetragonal bipyramids in T‐Nb ₂ O ₅₋ _x . The enrichment of oxygen vacancies endows T‐Nb ₂ O ₅₋ _x with higher electric conductivity, better electrochemical kinetics, larger pseudocapacitive contribution. O‐doped graphitic C ₃ N ₄ is creatively proposed as a trace oxygen pump to repair excessive oxygen vacancies, and it also serves as a sacrifice template for Nb ₂ O ₅₋ _x growth to construct a porous and monolithic electrode network. Defect‐modulated Nb ₂ O ₅₋ _x displays extraordinary cycling stability (164 mAh g ⁻¹ at 5 C after 1100 cycles), high capacity retention (104 mAh g ⁻¹ ) at an ultrahigh rate (25 C), and large areal capacity (0.74 mAh cm ⁻² ) under high mass loading (4 mg cm ⁻² ). The practical prospect is proved by Nb ₂ O ₅₋ _x /LiNi _0.8 Co _0.1 Mn _0.1 O ₂ full cells with high average platform (2.12 V) and high specific capacity (229 mAh g ⁻¹ ). The oxygen‐defect modulation strategy on oxide anodes provides an alternative solution to fast‐charging and durable LIBs.
