A nanorod FeP@phosphorus-doped carbon composite for high-performance lithium-ion batteries

An iron phosphide (FeP) nanorods and phosphorus-doped carbon (P-C) composite ([email protected]) has been successfully fabricated through a two-step strategy, that is, initial synthesis of Fe2P4O12@P-C precursor by polymerization and carbonization under argon atmosphere, followed by formation of FeP nanorods by reducing the Fe2P4O12 precursor with H2. The [email protected] material shows high specific surface area (255.21 m2 g−1) and the pore...
