Sodium-ion battery is a promising candidate for energy storage application, but the absence of high-capacity and low-cost anode materials significantly limit their practical specific energy and cost. Red phosphorus (RP) possesses a high theoretical specific capacity but suffers from large volume change, low electronic conductivity and unstable solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI). Herein, a hierarchical micro/nanostructured antimony-doped RP/carbon anode was developed, which demonstrate extraordinary electrochemical performance with high initial Coulombic efficiency of ~90%, high areal (~1.7 mAh cm-2) capacity together with good cycle stability and rate capability. Combined experimental and computational studies consistently revealed that such a unique structural design can dramatically accommodate the mechanical stress and moreover effectively restrain the undesired decomposition of electrolyte solvents regardless of electrolytes formulation, resulting in superior structural integrity and thin/robust SEI formation during cycling. The present finding has offered an alternative strategy for stress management and interface engineering on high-capacity alloying-based anode materials.
