Abstract

Here, electro-chemical properties of BN and BP nanocages as anodes in metal-ion batteries are examined. The effect of halogens adoption of BN and BP-NCs on electro-chemical properties of M-IBs are investigated. Results showed that the BP nanocages as anode electrode in M-IBs has higher efficiency than BN nanocages and the K-IB has higher cell voltage than N-IBs. Results indicated that the halogens adoption of BN and BP-NCs are improved the cell voltage of M-IBs. Results proved that the F-doped M-IBs have higher cell voltage than M-IBs. Finally, F-B₁₇P₁₈ as anodes in K-IB is proposed as suitable electrodes.
