Figure 2. A highly promising anode material for lithium-ion batteries.

Caption

Some of the key features that makes the proposed material ideal for fast charging are its high nitrogen content and enhanced interlayer spacing, which collectively allow for faster lithium ion kinetics both across and between layers. To top this off, the proposed anode material is very stable and retains most of its original capacity even after thousands of cycles.
