“…[30,35,36] Another family of negative electrodes utilizes conversion in LIBs. The conversion reactions of transition-metal oxides (e.g., CoO, NiO, Co 3 O 4 , Fe 3 O 4 ), [37][38][39] nitrides (e.g., Cu 3 N, Fe 3 N, Co 3 N), [40,41] and phosphides (e.g., VP 4 , FeP 2 , MnP 4 , CoP 3 ) [42,43] with lithium were extensively searched by various groups. Depending on the degree of lithiation, transition-metal particles can be formed and embedded on the respective binary lithium compound (e.g., Li 2 O, Li 3 N).…”
