Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are well-known for having three key features: lightweight, extended cycle life, and high energy

density. This makes them perfect for various uses like electric cars and portable electronics. Red phosphorus (P) is lowcost,

easily available, and possesses an excellent theoretical specifi c capacity (2596 mAh g −1 ) for use as the anode material

in high-energy–density lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). However, P has poor conductivity (10 –12 Sm −1 ), and colossal volume

expansion during charging-discharging hinders its application in LIBs. Conversely, despite various reported anode materials,

graphite remains the commercial choice for lithium-ion batteries. This study presents a nitrogen-doped graphite@carbon

anode material composite with P that was designed and fabricated through a simple and scalable process. The nitrogendoped

graphite composite with carbon, NGC, eff ectively reduces harmful reactions between the electrolyte and graphite,

ensuring stable electrode performance during charging and discharging. By incorporating optimized content of high-capacity

phosphorus (P), NGC’s capacity and electronic conductivity improve, minimizing volume changes of raw red phosphorus

through hybridization with the conductive carbon framework. The best optimized NGC/P2 composite shows a high initial

discharge capacity of 1486 mAh g −1 and a reversible capacity of 530 mAh g −1 at a current density of 100 mA g −1 after 100

cycles, outperforming conventional graphite. This highlights innovative strategies for sustainable and effi cient energy storage

solutions.
