Good egg: A unique yolk–shell Fe3O4@C composite with high loading ratio of 90 wt % has been prepared (see figure). As an anode material for lithium-ion batteries, this composite exhibits a high capacity of 680 mAh g−1 even at a large current density of 5 A g−1, and makes it a promising anode material for next-generation lithium-ion batteries.
