Rate capability is one of the most important parameters to evaluate the high-power delivery capability of LIBs. The rate capabilities of both 'dry' TVP and 65RH were determined by altering current densities (Fig. ). The 65RH delivers a reversible capacity of 442 mA h g -1 at 0.5 A g -1 . When the current density is increased to 0.8, and 1 A g -1 , the specific capacities slightly drop to 417 and 409 mA h g -1 , respectively. Even at a high current density of 2 A g -1 , the anode still maintains a reversible capacity of 360 mA h g -1 , corresponding to 81.5% of the initial one, which significantly exceeds the value (208 mA h g -1 ) of the 'dry' TVP based anode. As the current density is returned to 0.5 A g -1 , the capacity of 65RH based anode swiftly restores to the value of 451 mA h g -1 as high as the initial capacity. Compared with the 'dry' TVP, 65RH exhibits a superior rate capability when the current density is increased from 0.5 to 2 A g -1 and then returns to 0.5 A g -1 . The high-rate capability as well as the excellent recovery performance are crucial for the practical applications of LIB anodes.
