Hollow MoS₃ Nanospheres as Electrode Material for “Water-in-Salt” Li–Ion Batteries

The use of “water-in-salt” electrolyte (WISE) (i. e., a highly concentrated aqueous solution) in rechargeable batteries has received increasing attention due to the significantly expanded electrochemical window compared to the limited voltage of conventional aqueous electrolytes. It enables the use of more positive/negative electrode material...

Synthesis of severe lattice distorted MoS₂ coupled with hetero-bonds as anode for superior lithium-ion batteries

Exploration of advanced anode materials is a highly relevant research topic for next generation lithium-ion batteries. Here, we report severe lattice distorted MoS₂ nanosheets with a flower-like morphology prepared with PEG400 as additive, which acts not only as surfactant but importantly, also as reactant. Notably, in the absence...
