Self-adaptive electrochemical reconstruction boosted exceptional Li+ ion storage in a Cu3P@C anode

Abstract

Self-adaptive electrochemical reconstruction is proven to trigger superior performance of conversion anode materials for Li-ion batteries. In the case of Cu₃P, Cu₃P dots embedded in a carbon matrix resulting in high Li-ion storage activity, improved electronic conductivity and stability is induced and results in an ultralong (>10 000 cycles) lifespan.
