title: Synthesis of MoS(2)-C one-dimensional nanostructures with improved lithium storage properties.
abstract: Uniform one-dimensional (1D) MoS2-C composite nanostructures including nanorods and nanotubes have been produced through a sulfidation reaction in H2S flow using MoOx/polyaniline hybrid nanostructures as the precursor. These MoS2-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 MoS2-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 MoS2-C nanocomposites.
