One-pot Hydrothermal Synthesis of MoS2 Porous Nanospheres and Their Electrochemical Properties

In this paper, we have sucessfully prepared MoS2 porous nanospheres by one - step hydrothermal method and further applied to the anode materials for LIBs. MoS2 porous nanospheres show high lithium storage property and good cycling performance. The discharge capacity and charge capacity of MoS2 nanospheres are up to 439 mAh/g and 440 mAh/g, respectively, after 500 cycles at the current density of 1 A/g. Large specific surface area and porous structure of MoS2 nanospheres can improve the reversible capacity and cycle stability of LIBs, and they will show gre at potential to replace graphite anode materials.
