An ordered mesoporous WS2 anode material with superior electrochemical performance for lithium ion batteries

Abstract

Ordered mesoporous tungsten sulfide (WS2) with high surface area and narrow pore size distribution was synthesized by a vacuum assisted impregnation route. The as-prepared mesoporous WS2 exhibited a high lithium storage capacity of 805 mA h g−1 at a current of 0.1 A g−1 and an excellent high rate capability.
