MoS2–MWCNT hybrids as a superior anode in lithium-ion batteries

Abstract

Molybdenum disulfide (MoS₂)–multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) hybrids have been prepared by simple dry grinding. Excellent initial charge capacity (1214 mA h g⁻¹) and ∼85% retention after 60 discharge–charge cycles at different current densities (100–500 mA g⁻¹) make MoS₂–MWCNT (1 : 1) hybrids a superior anode in Li-ion batteries.
