Monodispersed copper phosphide nanocrystals in situ grown in a nitrogen-doped reduced graphene oxide matrix and their superior performance as the anode for lithium-ion batteries

Abstract

In the present work, a nanocomposite anode material consisting fully of monodispersed Cu3P nanocrystals in situ grown in three-dimensional nitrogen-doped reduced graphene oxide matrices has been manufactured via a “heating up” synthesis method.
