10. + (OCV), this loss is reduced to 25%, and further overvoltage recovers charge-discharge efficiency to the level of 85%. This fact indicates that the actual electrochemically irreversible portion in the initial Li-insertion reaction is one-seventh the initial charge capacity.

12. Some TCOs with low Sn content showed poor glass formability, as a sign that Sn itself serves as a glass-forming component.
13. We have found other glass-forming elements in metals and semi-metals such as Si, Ge, and V. Examples of other elements capable of constituting Sn-based oxide anodes, the optimization of which led to the invention of TCOs, are given in our patent applications: Y.
