Synthesis of MoS 2-C one-dimensional nanostructures with improved lithium storage properties

Abstract

Uniform one-dimensional (1D) MoS 2-C composite nanostructures including nanorods and nanotubes have been produced through a sulfidation reaction in H 2S flow using MoO x/polyaniline hybrid nanostructures as the precursor. These MoS 2-C 1D nanostructures exhibit greatly enhanced electrochemical performance as anode materials for lithium-ion batteries. Typically, stable capacity retention of 776 mA h g -1 can be achieved after 100 cycles for MoS 2-C nanotubes. Even cycled at a high current density of 1000 mA g -1, these structures can still deliver high capacities of 450-600 mA h g -1. The unique 1D nanostructure and the extra carbon in the hybrid structure are beneficial to the greatly improved electrochemical performance of these MoS 2-C nanocomposites. © 2012 American Chemical Society.
