For this project, metal-rich cobalt phosphides (e.g., orthorhombic Co2P) are first explored as potential anode materials because of good thermal stability, relatively low charge-discharge potential, as well as metallic property. The as-resulted products, especially carbon-coated Co2P nanorods, have...
