P, including three allotropic forms: white, red, and black, is another promising anode material for SIBs with a high theoretical specific capacity

(2,596 mAh g ). However, the low electronic conductivity (10 S cm ) and the following difficulty in the formation of a stable and smooth SEI on
the surface are the main problems of using P as an anode material. Among P anodes, the most stable forms are red and black, which can be

prepared by heating under high pressure. Many studies on P are devoted to upgrading its structure, and the issue of electrolyte additives is
rarely covered. This review will be dedicated only to electrolyte additives to improve the stability of SEIs on the P anode surface. CNF: Carbon

to reach 1,587 mAh g with a high initial CE. Moreover, the electrode surface is more uniform and thinner

with FEC, according to SEM images. VC has also been reported to improve the electrochemical
[114]
performance of P anodes. Dahbi et al. stated that 1% VC additive forms a homogeneous SEI layer on P
anodes and improves the electrochemical performance. The main components of the SEI layer in VC-
containing electrolytes are -OCO Na groups and polymeric chains. Thus, VC additives can stabilize the SEI

layer and help to achieve a long-cycling life of cells with P anodes. Table 14 summarizes the effect of FEC
and VC on the electrochemical performance of P anode materials.
