 This paper presents a new method for producing manganese-phosphide nanoparticles with targeted phases. These particles were then used as sulfur hosts in lithium-sulfur batteries. The results showed that these particles had excellent adsorption, catalytic, and electrical conductivity properties. Furthermore, they demonstrated excellent performance in terms of capacity and cycle stability. This article was offered by Chow Deng, Xinjie Dong, Pei Kong Shin, and others.
