Phosphorus–carbon nanocomposite anodes for lithium-ion and sodium-ion batteries - Journal of Materials Chemistry A (RSC Publishing)
With the expected theoretical capacity of 2596 mA h g−1, phosphorus is considered to be the highest capacity anode material for sodium-ion batteries and one of the most attractive anode materials for lithium-ion systems. This work presents a comprehensive study of phosphorus–carbon nanocomposite anodes for both lithium-ion and sodium-ion batteries. The composite electrodes are able to display high initial capacities of approximately 1700 and 1300 mA h g−1 in lithium and sodium half-cells, respectively, when the cells are tested within a larger potential windows of 2.0–0.01 V vs. Li/Li+ and Na/Na+.(...)
