title: Hierarchical MoS2 shells supported on carbon spheres for highly reversible lithium storage.
abstract: Hierarchical MoS2 shells supported on carbon spheres (denoted as C@MoS2) have been synthesized through a one-step hydrothermal method. The obtained hierarchical C@MoS2 microspheres simultaneously integrate the structural and compositional design rationales for high-energy electrode materials based on two-dimensional (2D) nanosheets. When evaluated as an anode material for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), the hierarchical C@MoS2 microspheres manifest high specific capacity, enhanced cycling stability and good rate capability.
