Abstract
Constructing heterostructure is a valid method to reinforcing sodium storage performance of transition metal chalcogenides materials. Herein, a simple, safe and controllable one step hydrothermal method is proposed to synthesize MoS2/NiS2 heterostructure. Due to the difference in band gaps and work functions of MoS2 and NiS2, the charges are redistributed at the MoS2/NiS2 heterointerfaces, thereby accelerating the migration of electrons and Na+. The heterointerfaces provide extra active sites for storing Na+, thus increasing the sodium storage capacity of the heterostructure. Furthermore, the distinct redox potentials of NiS2 and MoS2 promote the structural stability of MoS2/NiS2 heterostructure during the electrochemical reaction processes. Consequently, the obtained MoS2/NiS2 heterostructure exhibits superior rate properties (339.4 mAh g−1 at 10 A g−1) and ultra-stable cycling stability (480.5 mAh g−1 after 350 cycles at 1 A g−1). This paper presents a valid strategy for creating heterostructure anodes with excellent sodium storage properties.
