To compensate for the loss of irreversible capacity of lithium-ion battery, the silicate glass-ceramic containing LiYF4 crystals (YLFGC) is prepared by melting-annealing and then used as an active material to improve this situation. At the current density of 50 mA g-1, the specific capacity is...

Alternative choices of anode materials in Li-ion batteries (LiBs) have drawn great attention for the urgent demands of rapid charging, however, the severe interface problems remain a bottleneck for anode development. Based on the high reducibility of halogen elements, herein a smart anode/liquid...
