Abstract

The concurrent preservation of structural integrity and improvement of electrical conductivity in FeP 2 anodes presents a persistent challenge. Herein, FeP 2 nanoparticles embedded within a 3D N-doped honeycomb-like carbon framework composite (FeP 2 @NHC) are synthesized through a phosphorization process with a honeycomb-like Fe 3 C@NHC as a precursor. The in situ incorporation of FeP 2 nanoparticles into the 3D carbon matrix effectively restrains the aggregation, pulverization, and stripping of material during cycling, and significantly enhances reaction kinetics and structural stability, achieving a superior electrochemical performance. Specifically, FeP 2 @NHC electrodes demonstrate remarkable reversible capacity (1433.9 mA h g −1 at 0.1 A g −1 ), excellent rate-capability (399.9 mA h g −1 at 10 A g −1 ), and ultra-long cycle life (631.5 mA h g −1 after 1000 cycles at 2 A g −1 ). Moreover, XRD analysis reveals that iron-rich Fe 3 C and Fe 3 O 4 precursors can react with NaH 2 PO 2 to form FeP 2 and FeP, respectively. This study offers a rational and practical strategy for designing other phosphorus-rich metal phosphide anode materials.
