Composite cathodes based on spherical iron fluoride (FeF 2 )‐based nanocomposite particles are shown to form an effective protective surface layer in situ, which allows for 1000 stable cycles in high energy Li–FeF 2 cells. On page 1507, G. Yushin and co‐workers explore the mechanism of the protective layer formation and the performance boost, via quantum chemistry calculations.
