A facile and green strategy for the synthesis of MoS2 nanospheres with excellent Li-ion storage properties†
Abstract
A facile and green process was developed for the synthesis of MoS2 nanospheres by an L-cysteine-assisted hydrothermal method. These MoS2 nanospheres exhibited high specific capacity and good cycle stability because of efficient lithium ion diffusion and the accommodation of mechanical stress owing to their unique structure.
