Glasses are promising anode materials for Li‐ion batteries (LIBs) owing to their unique open network structures and the absence of grain boundaries. Upon discharging/charging, both the capacity and cycle life of the glass anodes can be affected through their structural evolutions. This review article highlights the recent research advances in improving and understanding the electrochemical performances of various types of glass anodes. Both the SnO‐ and GeO₂‐based glass anodes suffer from the high initial capacity loss and short cycle life. The origin of the first‐cycle irreversible capacity loss is discussed primarily from the structural evolution with cycles, that is, forming metallic Sn/Ge in the glass matrix. Recently, significant breakthroughs have been achieved in enhancing cycling stability and capacity of the anode materials by means of the disorder‐order engineering with respect to the V₂O₅–TeO₂ glass systems. In addition, the most recent advances in the applications of dual‐phase glass anodes in LiBs are reviewed. This article gives an overview of the applications of the glass anodes, as well as deals with the structural factors affecting their electrochemical performances. A deeper understanding of these factors will enable further steps toward improvement and application of the glass anodes for LIBs.

锂离子电池用玻璃阳极：放电/充电过程中结构演变的真知灼见

由于玻璃具有独特的开放网络结构并且没有晶界，因此玻璃是锂离子电池（LIB）的有希望的负极材料。在放电/充电时，玻璃阳极的容量和循环寿命都可能受其结构演变的影响。这篇综述文章重点介绍了在改善和了解各种类型的玻璃阳极的电化学性能方面的最新研究进展。SnO‐和GeO ₂基于玻璃的阳极具有较高的初始容量损失和较短的循环寿命。第一周期不可逆容量损失的根源主要是随着周期的结构演变而讨论的，即在玻璃基质中形成金属Sn / Ge。最近，通过针对V ₂ O ₅ -TeO ₂的无序工程，在增强阳极材料的循环稳定性和容量方面取得了重大突破。玻璃系统。此外，还回顾了在LiB中双相玻璃阳极应用的最新进展。本文概述了玻璃阳极的应用，并探讨了影响其电化学性能的结构因素。对这些因素的更深入理解将使朝着改善和应用LIB的玻璃阳极的进一步步骤迈进。
