Can molybdenum disulfide store lithium

Does molybdenum disulfide have a lithium-storage mechanism?

However, their electrochemical process and lithium-storage mechanism are complicated and remain controversial. This work is intended to give the direct observation on the electrochemical behavior and find out the lithium-storage mechanism of molybdenum disulfide (MoS 2) using in situ transmission electron microscopy (TEM).

Is molybdenum disulfide a suitable electrode material for lithium ion battery?

Molybdenum disulfide (MoS 2 ) features a layered structure, in which the at- oms are covalently bonded to form two-dimensional layers that are stacked together through weak van der Waals interactions . This characteristic makes them possibly suitable as electrode materials for lithium ion battery [4-6].

What are the advantages of molybdenum disulfide?

Molybdenum disulfide is a highly promising material for LIBs that compensates for its intermediate insertion voltage (∼2 V vs. Li/Li +) with a high reversible capacity (up to 1290 mA h g −1) and an excellent rate capability (e.g. 554 mA h g −1 after 20 cycles at 50 C).

Can lithiated metallic 1T Phase 2D molybdenum disulfide be used as a sulfur host material?

Here we report the use of pre-lithiated metallic 1T phase two-dimensional (2D) molybdenum disulfide (Li x MoS 2) as a sulfur host material for high-performance Li–S batteries under lean electrolyte conditions.

What is molybdenum disulfide used for?

The unique properties of molybdenum disulfide engender a versatility that has enabled its use in a wide range of scientific fields. The global prevalence of lithium ion battery (LIB) technology creates a strong driving force for the development of advanced electrode materials.

Are lithium storage mechanisms reversible?

Till now, the lithium storage mechanisms of MoS 2 -based anode materials have not been exhaustively investigated. Some researches demonstrate that the reversible capacity of MoS 2 -based anode materials is consistently higher than the theoretical capacity of the litigation conversion reactions , , , .
