Question 1

What are transition metal compounds utilized as anodes in LIBs?

Answer 1

• Oxides
• Phosphides
• Sulphides
• Nitrides

Transition metals include Fe, Co, Cu, Mn, Ni, and various non-metals like O, P, S, and N.

Question 2

What is the reversible capacity range of anodes based on transition metal compounds?

Answer 2
