Abstract

The effects of atmosphere and temperature on the electrochemical reversibility of black phosphorus (BP) anodes were investigated. BP anodes prepared in ambient air exhibited much-enhanced electrochemical activity due to the newly formed Cu₃P phase. This work highlights the importance of maintaining intragranular electronic conduction for developing advanced BP-based anodes with high reversible capacities.
