Energy storage red phosphorus

Is red phosphorus a good anode material for potassium ion storage?

This mini-review focuses on the recent progress on development of red phosphorus anode materials for highly-efficient potassium ion storage. The review is started with a short introduction to expound why red phosphorus is a valuable and promising anode material for KIBs.

How to improve lithium storage and sodium storage performance of red P?

Here, we significantly improves both lithium storage and sodium storage performance of red P by confining nanosized amorphous red P into the mesoporous carbon matrix (P@CMK-3) using a vaporization–condensation–conversion process.

Are amorphous red phosphorus nanosheets high performance anodes for lithium ion batteries?

Sun L, Zhang Y, Zhang D, Zhang Y. Amorphous red phosphorus nanosheets anchored on graphene layers as high performance anodes for lithium ion batteries. (46):18552–18560. Sun X, Li W, Zhong X, Yu Y. Superior sodium storage in phosphorus@porous multichannel flexible freestanding carbon nanofibers. :112–118.

Can red phosphorus anodes be used for K-ion batteries?

Recent advances in emerging red phosphorus anodes with high capacity and superior cost-effectiveness have opened up a new avenue to build next-generation high-performance K-ion batteries (KIBs). This mini-review focuses on the recent progress on development of red phosphorus anode materials for highly-efficient potassium ion storage.

Can white phosphorus be used for electrochemical energy storage?

White phosphorus cannot be used for electrochemical energy storage because it is chemically unstable, hypertoxic, and flammable.

What is red phosphorus (RP)?

Red phosphorus (RP), featured with outstanding stability and facile preparation process, is of particular interest [4, 5]. It allows for the insertion of 3 Li + /Na + ions at ~0.7/0.4 V (vs. Li + /Li or Na + /Na) that results in a high theoretical capacity of 2,596 mA h g −1 [6, 7].
