Phosphorus-based anodes for fast-charging alkali metal ion batteries

Abstract

Advancing fast-charging technology is an important strategy for the development of alkali metal ion batteries (AMIBs). The exploitation of a new generation of anode material system with high-rate performance, high capacity, and low risk of lithium/sodium/potassium plating is critical to realize fast-charging capability of AMIBs while maintaining high energy density and safety. Among them, phosphorus-based anodes including phosphorus anodes and metal phosphide anodes have attracted wide attention, due to their high theoretical capacities, safe reaction voltages, and natural abundance. In this review, we summarize the research progress of different phosphorus-based anodes for fast-charging AMIBs, including material properties, mechanisms for storing alkali metal ions, key challenges and solution strategies for achieving fast-charging capability. Moreover, the future development directions of phosphorus-based anodes in fast-charging AMIBs are highlighted.
