Well-Constructed Single-Layer Molybdenum Disulfide Nanorose Cross-Linked by Three Dimensional-Reduced Graphene Oxide Network for Superior Water Splitting and Lithium Storage Property

A facile one-step solution reaction route for growth of novel MoS(2) nanorose cross-linked by 3D rGO network, in which the MoS(2) nanorose is constructed by single-layered or few-layered MoS(2) nanosheets, is presented. Due to the 3D assembled hierarchical architecture of the ultrathin MoS(2) nanosheets and the interconnection of 3D rGO network, as well as the synergetic effects of MoS(2) and rGO, the as-prepared MoS(2)-NR/rGO nanohybrids delivered high specific capacity, excellent cycling and good rate performance when evaluated as an anode material for lithium-ion batteries. Moreover, the nanohybrids also show excellent hydrogen-evolution catalytic activity and durability in an acidic medium, which is superior to MoS(2) nanorose and their nanoparticles counterparts.
