Glucose-Assisted One-Pot Hydrothermal Synthesis of Hierarchical-Structured MoS(2)/C Quasi-Hollow Microspheres for High-Performance Lithium Ion Battery

In this work, hierarchical MoS(2)/C quasi-hollow microspheres are prepared by a one-pot hydrothermal process with the addition of glucose. The glucose is not only inclined to form the roundish sphere in the completion of the synthesis of MoS(2), but at the same time the microspheres formed by the gl...

Sumario:In this work, hierarchical MoS(2)/C quasi-hollow microspheres are prepared by a one-pot hydrothermal process with the addition of glucose. The glucose is not only inclined to form the roundish sphere in the completion of the synthesis of MoS(2), but at the same time the microspheres formed by the glucose can act as the nuclei on which the MoS(2) grows. Glucose, acting as a nucleating agent, has the advantages of being low-cost and environmentally friendly, which can simplify the fabrication process. The interiors of the MoS(2)/C samples are multi-hole and quasi-hollow, which is beneficial for the insertion and extraction of lithium ions. For the first time, we demonstrate that hierarchical-structured MoS(2)/C quasi-hollow microspheres exhibit an excellent cycling stability and rate capability in lithium ion batteries (LIBs) and are significantly superior to the bulk MoS(2). The method presented in this article may provide a simple, clean. and economical strategy for the preparation of MoS(2)/C microspheres as a feasible and promising anode material for LIBs.
