Zusammenfassung: | Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) has become a potential anode material for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) by showing decent cell performance but it suffers poor electronic conductivity and large volume expansion during sodiation. Here we design a nanocomposite with hollow nitrogen doped carbon and polypyrrole modified MoS2 for improving the performance for SIBs. The designed nanocomposite shows a much-improved electronic conductivity and the design of the architecture provides sufficient channels for mass transport and accommodates large volume change. This C@MoS2@PPy anode delivers a high specific capacity of 713 mAh g−1 at 0.1 A g−1 for 100 cycles, and an excellent rate capacity of 294 mAh g−1 at 5 A g−1 for 500 cycles. This specific architecture of C@MoS2@PPy could guide the future design of the electrode material in SIBs and its superior electrochemical performance indicates the great potential application for SIBs.
Hollow C@MoS2@PPy nanocomposites were designed and fabricated using FeOOH@C as sacrificial template, which exhibit excellent cycle stability and good rate capacity. [Display omitted]
•Ultrathin MoS2 nanosheets confined in N-doped carbon and PPy are prepared and used as high performance electrode for SIBs.•C@MoS2@PPy with much stronger MoN bonds can effectively enhance the mechanical stability.•The N-doped carbon nanotubes and PPy provide binary channels for accelerating the Na-ion transport.•C@MoS2@PPy delivers a specific capacity of 294 mAh g−1 after 500 cycles at 5 A g−1. |
