The characterization results depict that the as-prepared Cu3P hollow microspheres are uniform and have the diameter of 1.02.5 m. During preparation, it is found that the polymer (PEG-10000) can form a micro-reactor in the aqueous solution and then provide a soft template for the formation of Cu3P microspheres. As an anode material for lithium ion batteries, the initial discharge capacity of the as-obtained Cu3P hollow microspheres is as high as 974.7 mA h \textperiodcentered g1 and relatively constant at 224 mA h \textperiodcentered g1 after 10th cycle.", }
