To optimize the potential window and maximize the utilization of the capacity of both negative and positive electrodes, rational design of electrode materials are critically important in full-cell construction of rechargeable batteries. In this work, we propose and fabricate a carbon-confined V2O3/Ni2P/C composite structure for excellent performance lithium ion batteries by taking advantage of the high capacity of V2O3 and low potential of Ni2P. The full cell constructed with V2O3/Ni2P/C as anode and commercial LiMn2O4 as cathode offers a record high energy density of 361.5 Wh kg–1 and excellent cycle stability, outperforming the state-of-the-art work reported in literature.
