ABSTRACT: Metal fluorides and oxides can store multiple lithium ions through conversion chemistry to enable highenergy-density lithium-ion batteries. However, their practical applications have been hindered by an unusually large voltage hysteresis between charge and discharge voltage profiles and the consequent low-energy efficiency (
