Phosphorus sulfide cage molecule based on P₄S₃ was investigated for the first time as anode material for the storage of alkali metal ions (Li⁺, Na⁺, K⁺). Such P₄S₃ sample was obtained in a large scale by a simple heating reaction of low-cost rep P and S. X-ray diffraction refinement analysis indicates that P₄S₃ sample possesses a defect rich molecule crystal structure with S/P atom ratio of 0.74. The P₄S₃ anode delivered a high reversible capacity of 1266 mAh g⁻¹ for lithium-ion batteries at 0.1 A g⁻¹ and good cycling performance. Experimental results demonstrated that the P₄S₃ anode undergoes a reversible Li-storage reaction of P₄S₃ + 11 Li⁺ + 11 e⁻ ↔ 0.5 Li₄P₂S₆ + 3 Li₃P during cycling. It also exhibited a high capacity of 1002 and 378 mAh g⁻¹ at 0.1 A g⁻¹ for Na⁺ and K⁺ storage, respectively. These properties suggest the promising application of P₄S₃ anode in high energy batteries.
