A phosphorated composite capable of electrochemical reversible lithium storage includes a conductive matrix and red phosphorus. The conductive matrix includes a material being selected from the group consisting of conductive polymer and conductive carbonaceous material. A weight percentage of the conductive matrix in the phosphorated composite ranges from about 10% to about 85%. A weight percentage of the red phosphorus in the phosphorated composite ranges from about 15% to about 90%. An anode using the phosphorated composite is also provided.
