Facile Synthesis of FeP-Decorated Heteroatomic-Doped Onion-like Carbon Nanospheres for Pseudocapacitance Enhanced Sodium Storage

“…Transition-metal phosphides (TMPs) are seeking attention as an anode material because of their environmental as well as electrochemical characteristics, such as larger theoretical capacity, superior electrical conductivity, and lower voltage plateau compared with selenides, sulfides, and metal oxides. 5−7 Previously, various transition metals, including ZnP 2 , 8 VP 2 , 9 CoP, 10 MoP, 11 Ni 2 P, 12 Cu 3 P, 13 Sn 4 P 3 , 14 and GeP, 15 strated good electrochemical performances within SIBs. 16,17 Notwithstanding these developments, there is still scope for improvement in the electrode's structural integrity and reversible capacity throughout repeated cycling, particularly at a higher current density.…”

“…Because sodium (Na) and lithium (Li) have similar physiochemical properties and are both inexpensive and widely available, sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) have attracted considerable interest for use in energy storage applications. , This emphasizes the search for superb anode materials with an extended cyclic life and improved rate performance for SIBs.

In recent years, TMPs with distinct morphologies, such as nanoparticles, nanowires, nanotubes, nanofibers, and hollow spheres, have been synthesized using various methods, including ball milling, metal–organic framework (MOF), , electrochemical depositions, solvothermal, carbothermal reduction, and electrospinning .…”

Metal Phosphide Anodes in Sodium‐Ion Batteries: Latest Applications and Progress

“…Qiu et al synthesized Fe 2 P nanowires with controllable diameter and carbon shell thickness through chemical vapor deposition, employing environmentally friendly solid ion resin as the phosphorus source, while adjusting the resin quantity and holding time. [89] The synthesis process has a "solid-gas-liquid-solid" mechanism. With the increase in temperature, the resin decomposes into carbon gas (CR) and phosphorus gas (P-R), which act as carbon and phosphorus sources respectively.…”

Design of High‐Capacity MoS3 Decorated Nitrogen Doped Carbon Coated Cu2S Electrode Structures with Dual Heterogenous Interfaces for Outstanding Sodium‐Ion Storage

“…[11,12] Currently, in order to solve these scientific issues, two effective strategies such as the design of special nano-structures and the composites with carbon-based materials have been commonly adopted by researchers. [13][14][15][16] Nanostructures can greatly shorten the transport path of electrons/ions, inhibit the volume expansion, and improve the utilization efficiency of active materials. For example, Wei et al prepared hierarchical Cu 2 S hollow spheres via a one-step solvothermal method.…”
