“…[10] Therefore, conversion-type anodes have been considered more promising for LiBs than intercalation-type and alloying-type anodes. A large number of conversion-type anode materials, like transition-metal oxides (Co 3 O 4 , [11,12] NiO, [13,14] Co x Mn 3Àx O 4 , [15] Fe 3 O 4 , [16,17] MnO, [18] etc. ), sulphides (MoS 2 , [19] CoS 2 , [20] etc.…”
