Nanowire of WP as a High‐Performance Anode Material for Sodium‐Ion Batteries

The design and development of electrode materials with high specific capacity and long cycling life for sodium‐ion batteries (SIBs) is still a critical challenge. In this communication, we report the development of tungsten phosphide (WP) nanowire on carbon cloth (WP/CC) as an anode for SIBs. The WP/CC exhibits superior sodium storage capability with 502 mA h g−1 at 0.1 A g−1. Moreover, this anode is capable of delivering a long lifespan at 2 A g−1 with an excellent capacity retention of 99 % after 1000 cycles.
