Phosphorization of metal oxides/hydoxides to promote electronic conductivity as a promising strategy has attracted enormous attention for improving the electrochemical properties of anode material in lithium ion batteries. For this article, selective phosphorization from NiCo2O4 to NiO/Ni2Co4P3 microspheres was realized as an efficient route to enhance the electrochemical lithium storage properties of bimetal Ni-Co based anode materials. The results show that varying phosphorizaed reagent amount can significantly affect the transformation of crystalline structure from NiCo2O4 to intermediate NiO, hybrid NiO/Ni2Co4P3, and, finally, to Ni2Co4P3, during which alterated sphere morphology, shifted surface valance, and enhanced lithium-ion storage behavior are detected. The optimized phosphorization with 1:3 reagent mass ratio can maintain the spherical architecture, hold hybrid crystal structure, and improve the reversibly electrochemical lithium-ion storage properties. A specific capacity of 415 mAh g−1 is achieved at 100 mA g−1 specific current and maintains at 106 mAh g−1 when the specific current increases to 5000 mA g−1. Even after 200 cycles at 500 mA g−1, the optimized electrode still delivers 224 mAh g−1 of specific capacity, exhibiting desirable cycling stability. We believe that understanding of such selective phosphorization can further evoke a particular research enthusiasm for anode materials in lithium ion battery with high performances.

Transition metal oxides are regarded as a potential electrode material for lithium-ion storage due to it features high theoretical capacity and low cost. In this study, the possibility of Fe2O3 microcubes as an electrode material for lithium-ion storage was investigated, where the anode electrode of Fe2O3 microcubes were created through Prussian blue (PB) metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) and followed by the calcination process at high temperature. The results showed that the Fe2O3 microcubes electrode obtained by the calcination process at 500 °C exhibited superior electrochemical performances than that of Fe2O3 obtained by the calcination process at 700 °C. The increase in calcination temperature will lead to the further sintering reaction between the particles and the formation of cracks and voids in crystals that eventually lead to the breakup of microcube and so lower stable structure of the Fe2O3 microcubes electrode. Fe2O3 microcubes exhibited an excellent/stable lithium storage performance and thus is a promising anode material for LIBs.
