Ni2P/graphitic carbon nanostructure electrode with superior electrochemical performance

Because of their high theoretical specific capacities, transition metal phosphides have been interested as promising anode candidates for lithium-ion batteries. However, high irreversible capacity reduction and pulverization of the transition metal phosphide structure caused by volumetric expansion during cycling obstruct the commercialization of transition metal phosphides as an anode for lithium-ion batteries. In this study, we fabricated a...
