Abstract

A novel strategy for the controlled synthesis of 2D MoS2/C hybrid nanosheets consisting of the alternative layer-by-layer interoverlapped single-layer MoS2 and mesoporous carbon (m-C) is demonstrated. Such special hybrid nanosheets with a maximized MoS2 /m-C interface contact show very good performance for lithium-ion batteries in terms of high reversible capacity, excellent rate capability, and outstanding cycling stability.

Keywords: interface engineering; lithium-ion batteries; mesoporous carbon; single-layer MoS2; superstructures.
