Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Metal sulfides are a type of potential anode materials for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). However, their electrochemical behaviors and mechanism during the charge and discharge process remain unclear. In the present paper, we use CoS as a model material to investigate their electrochemical process using in situ transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Two kinds of reaction behaviors are revealed. The pure CoS particles show a side-to-side conversion process, in which large and anisotropic size expansion (47.1%) occurs that results in the formation of cracks and fractures in CoS particles. In contrast, the CoS particles anchored on reduced graphene oxide (rGO) sheets exhibit a core-shell conversion process involving small and homogeneous size expansion (28.6%) and few fractures, which attributes to the excellent Li conductivity of rGO sheets and accounts for the improved cyclability. Single-crystalline CoS particle converts to Co nanocrystals of 1-2 nm embedded within LiS matrix after the first lithiation. The subsequent electrochemical reaction is a reversible phase conversion between Co/LiS and CoS nanocrystals. Our direct observations provide important mechanistic insight for developing high-performance conversion electrodes for LIBs. © 2014 American Chemical Society.
