Advanced anode for sodium-ion battery with promising long cycling stability achieved by tuning phosphorus-carbon nanostructures

Phosphorus is considered as a promising anode for Na-ion battery because of its high theoretical capacity of 2595 mAh g−1. In this study, two phosphorus-carbon (P-C) composites with well-controlled compositions and nanostructures of P and C have been developed: [email protected] composite with P confined within porous structure of YP-80F carbon and [email protected] with unconfined P deposited on the surface of carbon nanotube. The structure and...
