▎ 摘　　要

Considerable attention has been paid to sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) for large-scale energy storage due to low cost and abundant Na source. Phosphorus (P) is proposed as a high-capacity SIB anode material with theoretical capacity of 2596 mAh g(-1). However, the large volume expansion of P during sodiation brings about a series of challenges, including rapid capacity decay and slow ion transport. In this work, we develop an amorphous P (alpha P) anode material with cubic boron nitride (c-BN) as a mechanical skeleton wrapped by nanoporous graphene (pGra) networks, which can combine synergistically the advantages of pGra and c-BN, and hence simultaneously solve the challenges for the P-based anodes. The rigid nature of c-BN is effective to suppress the severe volume expansion during P sodiation process, while the porous network of pGra serves as transport channel for electrons and ions, offering short pathways for large-radii Na+ ions diffusion. The alpha P/c-BN/pGra composite anode shows excellent cyclability with a stable specific capacity of similar to 1000 mAh g(-1) and similar to 90% capacity retention after 100 cycles at a specific current of 50 mA g(-1). The rigid c-BN and flexible pGra provides a promising pathway for developing high performance alloy-based materials for low-cost SIBs. (C) 2017 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
