Controlled Synthesis of Core–Shell Carbon@MoS₂ Nanotube Sponges as High‐Performance Battery Electrodes

Abstract

Heterogeneous inorganic nanotube structures consisting of multiwalled carbon nanotubes coated by long, continuous MoS₂ sheets with tunable sheet number are synthesized using a carbon-nanotube sponge as a template. The resulting 3D porous hybrid sponges have potential applications as high-performance freestanding anodes for Li-ion batteries with excellent specific capacity and cycling stability.
