Constructing stable covalent bonding in black phosphorus/reduced graphene oxide for lithium ion battery anodes

Strong covalent bonds were in situ constructed in a unique black phosphorus (BP) @ reduced graphene oxide nanocomposite via a facile and scalable high energy ball-milling process, which contributes to the high specific capacity of BP@irGO and tackles the long-standing problem of large volume expansion of high capacity electrode matrerials.
