However, owing to the bigger ionic radius of Na + (1.02 Å) compared to Li + (0.76 Å), the reaction kinetics of SIBs is sluggish with severe volume changes. [3,4,[7][8][9][10] 2D transition-metal sulfides with high theoretical specific capacity (670 mAh g −1 for MoS 2 ) and tunable interlayer spacing have widely been investigated as desirable anode materials for SIBs. [11][12][13][14][15][16] However, the inadequate charge/mass transfer [15] and large volume variation during the charge/discharge cycling tend to deteriorate cycling stability and high rate performance. [17,18] To solve these issues, strategies on modulation of microstructure, expansion of interlayer distance, as well as incorporation of various conductive matrices have been employed. [3,17,[19][20][21] Amphiphilic molecules and polymers such as cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), oleylamine, oleic acid, and polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) have been used as expanders and/or carbon precursors to synthesize large interlayer space or singlelayered MoS 2 /carbon composites to improve their electrochemical kinetics and structural stability. [2,[22][23][24][25][26] Wang et al. [18] prepared a 3D MoS 2 nanoflower with an expanded interlayer spacing on doublelayer carbon tubes with the assistance of PVP. Zhu et al. prepared a single-layered ultrasmall nanoplate of MoS 2 embedded in carbon nanofibers by an electrospinning process. [26] Mesoporous materials with a large specific surface area, narrow pore size distribution, and large pore volume offer abundant active sites and efficient mass/charge transfer for sodium storage. Traditionally, ordered mesoporous metal sulfide and selenide materials are synthesized by using ordered mesoporous silica as a hard template (e.g., Pluronic P123 for SBA-15). [27][28][29][30][31] Normally, the organic template (such as Pluronic P123 for SBA-15) is removed by calcination or other methods before the mesoporous silica is used as a hard template. However, the as-prepared mesoporous silica with the organic template is still inside the pore channels and is seldom be used directly as templates because their pore channels are blocked. Unexpectedly, the nitrogen sorption results (Figure S1, Supporting Information) of the untreated SBA-15 (with P123 still inside, named as SBA-15-P123) show that it already has an open pore framework with a considerable specific surface and pore volume. These features make it a potential hard template.Transition-metal sulfides are promising electrochemical energy storage materials due to their abundant active sites, large interlayer space, and high theoretical capacities, especially for sodium storage. However, the low conductivity and poor cycling stability at high current densities hamper their applications. Herein, a versatile dual-template method is reported to elaborate ordered mesoporous single-layered MoS 2 /carbon composite with high specific area, uniform pore size, and large pore volume. The singlelayered MoS 2 is confined in the carbon matrix. The mesopores between the composite nanorods pr...
