MoS2–MWCNT hybrids as a superior anode in lithium-ion batteries

Abstract

Molybdenum disulfide (MoS(2))-multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) hybrids have been prepared by simple dry grinding. Excellent initial charge capacity (1214 mA h g(-1)) and ~85% retention after 60 discharge-charge cycles at different current densities (100-500 mA g(-1)) make MoS(2)-MWCNT (1 : 1) hybrids a superior anode in Li-ion batteries.
