摘要
The synthesis of a composite of cobalt phosphide nanowires and reduced graphene oxide （denoted CoP/RGO） via a facile hydrothermal method combined with a subsequent annealing step is reported. The resulting composite presents large specific surface area and enhanced conductivity, which can effectively facilitate charge transport and accommodates variations in volume during the lithiation/de-lithiation processes. As a result, the CoP/RGO nanocomposite manifests a high reversible specific capacity of 960 mA·h-g-1 over 200 cycles at a current density of 0.2 A·g-1 （297 mA·h·g-1 over 10,000 cycles at a current density of 20 A.g-1） and excellent rate capability （424 mA·h·g-1 at a current density of 10 A·g-1）.
