/Ni + redox couple is involved and the electron transfer is combined with the reversible accommodation of Li + ions in the cationic vacancies. The structural response is fully reversible and minimal, with a maximal volume variation of 2%. As a consequence, a high capacity of 200 mAh g -1 at C/10 is obtained with an excellent capacity retention, close to 100% even after 100 cycles, which makes Li2.0(1)Ni0.67(2)N a promising negative electrode material for Li-ion batteries.
