Abstract

Abstract The hierarchical MoS 2 /carbonaceous materials composites have received considerable interest for electrochemical energy storage and conversion. In the present work, the hierarchical MoS 2 @RGO nanosheets, where ultrathin MoS 2 nanosheets perpendicularly anchor on both sides of RGO, are successfully synthesized by a new route. Such hybrid structures not only improve the conductivity of the hybrid structure and effectively prevent the aggregation of MoS 2 nanosheets, but also maximize the MoS 2 loading in the MoS 2 @RGO composites to be over 92%. The formation process for the hierarchical MoS 2 @RGO nanosheets is also investigated. When evaluated as an anode material for sodium-ion batteries, the hierarchical MoS 2 @RGO nanosheets deliver an excellent cycling performance and a high specific capacity of 420 mA h g −1 at a current density of 100 mA g −1 . The strategy can be used to prepare other hierarchical metal sulfides@RGO nanosheets as high performance anode materials for sodium-ion batteries.
