- Abstract
- To design a high-performance sodium-ion battery anode, binary zinc phosphides (ZnP2 and Zn3P2) were synthesized by a facile solid-state heat treatment process, and their Na storage characteristics were evaluated. The Na reactivity of ZnP2 was better than that of Zn3P2. Therefore, a C-modified ZnP2-based composite (ZnP2-C) was fabricated to achieve better electrochemical performance. To investigate the electrochemical reaction mechanism of ZnP2-C during sodiation/desodiation, various ex situ analytical techniques were employed. During sodiation, ZnP2 in the composite was transformed into NaZn13 and Na3P phases, exhibiting a one-step conversion reaction. Conversely, Zn and P in NaZn13 and Na3P, respectively, were fully recombined to the original ZnP2 phase during desodiation. Owing to the one-step conversion/recombination of ZnP2 in the composite during cycling, the ZnP2-C showed high electrochemical performance with a highly reversible capacity of 883 mA h g(-1 )after 130 cycles with no capacity deterioration and a fast C-rate capability of 500 mA h g(-1) at 1 C and 350 mA h g(-1) at 3 C.
