Abstract

Early studies indicate that graphite is feasible as the negative electrode of a potassium-ion battery, but its electrochemical performance still cannot meet the demands of applications. More efforts should be focused on increasing the specific capacity and improving the rate capability in the meantime. Thus, stainless-steel autoclave technology has been utilized to prepare phosphorus nanoparticles encapsulated in reduced graphene oxide matrix as the electrode materials for a potassium-ion battery. As a result, the composite matrix affords high reversible capacities of 354 and 253 mA h g
