Abstract
In the present paper, we demonstrate a facile high-temperature solid-state route to synthesis two-phase cobalt phosphide/graphene nanocomposite and assess its potential as anode material for Li-ion batteries. The synthesized CoP–Co2P/RGO composite shows a flake-like structure consisted of many cobalt phosphide nanospheres densely aggregated on the surface of the RGO nanosheets which in turn causes a twofold increase in the surface area from 15 m2.g−1 to 30 m2.g−1 and decreasing the mean pore diameter from ~ 2–95 nm to ~ 1–3 nm in comparison with the pristine CoP–Co2P sample. The test results confirm the reversibility of the electrochemical reactions of the prepared anode material in the first 10 cycles. Compared to the pristine CoP–Co2P sample, CoP–Co2P/RGO nanocomposite exhibits 60 and 71% increase in the lithiation (118 mAh.g−1) and delithiation (12 mAh.g−1) capacities at 200 mA.g−1. The improved battery performance of the CoP–Co2P/RGO electrode is attributed to its highly-porous structure, high capacity of CoP, high electrical conductivity of graphene and Co2P, and the ability of graphene in buffering the volume expansion during cycling.
