Abstract

Metallic 1T phase molybdenum disulfide (1T-MoS2) can improve the electron transport rate and provide abundant active sites, which is beneficial to promote the electrochemical properties of MoS2. Herein, enhanced 1T-MoS2 flower-like spheres have been prepared via a facile hydrothermal method through adding urea and reducing reaction time (6 ​h). In addition, graphene oxide nanosheets are also used to further increase the conductivity and structure stability of composite. The synthesized enhanced 1T phase MoS2 flower-like spheres with embedded reduced graphene oxides (E-1T-MoS2@rGO-6) are applied as anode materials as sodium ion battery, which delivers a high reversible capacity of 450 mAh g−1 ​at 0.1 ​A ​g−1 after 60 cycles, and the electrode still remains 280 mAh g−1 after 100 cycles even at 1 ​A ​g−1. The boosted sodium ion storage capacity, good rate and cyclic stability performances of E-1T-MoS2@rGO-6 electrode may be ascribed to the high content of 1T-MoS2 and the presence of rGO.
