Self-Standing Soft Carbon-Coated MoS2 Nanofiber Film Anode for Superior Potassium Storage

Article MoS2 Nanosheets Encapsulated in Carbon Nanofibers as Binder-free Anode for Superior Lithium Storage

Single-walled carbon nanohorns coated with Fe2O3 as a superior anode material for lithium ion batteries.

A novel composite of Fe(2)O(3) and single-walled carbon nanohorns (SWCNHs) was firstly developed via a simple hydrothermal method. As an anode material for lithium ion batteries, a Fe(2)O(3)/SWCNHs composite shows excellent rate performance and cycle stability, even at a high current density of 1000 mA g(-1).

Hierarchical MoS2 nanosheet/active carbon fiber cloth as a binder-free and free-standing anode for lithium-ion batteries.

Owing to the layered structure and high theoretical capacity, MoS2 has attracted more and more interest as a potential anode material for lithium-ion batteries. However, it suffers from rapid capacity decay and low rate capability. In this work, we introduce a novel hierarchical material consisting of ultrathin MoS2 nanosheets grown on the surface of an active carbon fiber (ACF) cloth fabricate...

Preparation of hollow microsphere@onion-like solid nanosphere MoS2 coated by a carbon shell as a stable anode for optimized lithium storage.

A one-step hydrothermal method was successfully used to fabricate hollow microsphere@onion-like solid nanosphere MoS2. Then the as-prepared sS-MoS2 was decorated with a carbon shell using dopamine as a carbon source by a facile route, resulting in hollow microsphere@onion-like solid nanosphere MoS2 decorated with carbon shell (sS-MoS2@C). A synergistic effect was observed for the two-component ...

Synthesis and characterization of potassium metal/graphitic carbon nanofiber intercalates.

Direct reaction of herringbone, platelet, or narrow, tubular herringbone graphitic carbon nanofibers (GCNFs) with molten potassium gives K/GCNF intercalates with stoichiometric control of potassium loading. Intercalate formation is confirmed by powder X-ray diffraction and micro-Raman spectroscopy. K/GCNF intercalates act as radical-anion alkene polymerization catalysts and reduce water with st...
