Abstract

Transition metal sulfides are promise electrochemical energy storage materials due to their abundant active sites, large inter-layer space and high theoretical capacities. Especially for sodium storage. However, the low conductivity and poor cycling stability at high current densities hampered their applications. Herein, we report a versatile dual-templates method to elaborate ordered mesoporous single layered MoS2 /carbon composite with high specific area, uniform pore size and large pore volume. The single layered MoS2 is confined in the carbon matrix. The mesopores between the composite nanorods provide fast electrolyte diffusion. The obtained nanocomposite shows a high sodium storage capability, excellent rate capacity, and very good cycling performance. A 310 mAh g-1 capacity can remains at 5.0 A g-1 after 2500 cycles. Furthermore, a SIB full cell composed the MoS2 /carbon composite anode and a Na3 V2 (PO4 )3 (NVP) cathode maintains a specific capacity of 330 mA h g-1 at 1.0 A g-1 during 100 cycles. The mechanism is investigated by in situ and ex situ characterizations as well as density functional theory (DFT) calculations. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
