Rapid identification of P–C bonds in phosphorus–carbon anode materials†

Abstract

Phosphorus-carbon composites in alkali metal-ion batteries benefit from P–C bonds, enhancing stability and performance. Rapid P–C bond detection is crucial. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), balancing convenience and accuracy, was chosen in this study for its efficiency in analyzing P–C bond energies, aiding in the quick identification of these bonds in phosphorus-carbon anodes.
