| description | Transition metal phosphides are a new class of materials generating interest as alternative negative electrodes in lithium-ion batteries. However, metal phosphide syntheses remain underdeveloped in terms of simultaneous control over phase composition and 3D nanostructure. Herein, M13 bacteriophage is employed as a biological scaffold to develop 3D nickel phosphide nanofoams with control over a range of phase compositions and structural elements. Virus-templated Ni5P4 nanofoams are then integrated as thin-film negative electrodes in lithium-ion microbatteries, demonstrating a discharge capacity of 677 mAh g⁻¹ (677 mAh cm⁻³) and an 80% capacity retention over more than 100 cycles. This strong electrochemical performance is attributed to the virus-templated, nanostructured morphology, which remains electronically conductive throughout cycling, thereby sidestepping the need for conductive additives. When accounting for the mass of additional binder materials, virus-templated Ni₅P₄ nanofoams demonstrate the highest practical capacity reported thus far for Ni₅P₄ electrodes. Looking forward, this synthesis method is generalizable and can enable precise control over the 3D nanostructure and phase composition in other metal phosphides, such as cobalt and copper. Keywords: 3D nanostructure; transition metal phosphide; biotemplating; M13 bacteriophage; Li-ion microbattery |
