Abstract

Composites of MoS₂ and amorphous carbon are grown and self-assembled into hierarchical nanostructures via a hydrothermal method. Application of the composites as high-energy electrodes for rechargeable lithium-ion batteries is investigated. The critical roles of nanostructuring of MoS₂ and carbon composition on lithium-ion battery performance are highlighted.
