Lithiated Carbons vs Competing Anode Materials

The TCO is synthesized from SnO, B2O3, Sn2P207, AI2O3, and other precursors. The nature of the insertion mechanism of lithium into the Fuji material has been considered by several groups [29, 333- 336]. To date it is quite clear that the lithium is not simply inserted into the TCO as in the case of the dioxides of the transition
