“…Figure 5 a shows the CV curves of 1st, 2nd, and 5th cycles of metallic MoS 2 nanotube and the 1st CV cycle of 2H MoS 2 (black curve). The first discharge of the 2H MoS 2 exhibits two peaks at 0.94 and 0.4 V. In detail, the peak at 0.94 V is attributed to the intercalation of lithium‐ion into the 2H MoS 2 layer, forming Li x MoS 2 , with the phase transformation of trigonal prisms (2H) to octahedral (1T or 1T′) structure . The peak at 0.4 V is ascribed to the conversion from Li x MoS 2 to Li 2 S and Mo nanoparticles .…”

by the large volume change and the poor intrinsic conductivity with a direct bandgap of ≈1.9 eV significantly inhibits the further applications of 2H MoS 2 on lithium-ion batteries. [8,9] One of the best and typical strategies to ameliorate the structural stability and electrical conductivity of MoS 2 based anode is to fabricate hybrid 2H MoS 2 nanocomposites with conductive carbonaceous materials, such as carbon fibers, graphene, and carbon nanotubes. These hybrid MoS 2 -carbon nano composites (MCNs) could deliver a decent capacity of ≈900 mA h g −1 at 1 A g −1 current density on lithium-ion batteries for 100 cycles. [2,10,11] Unfortunately, this strategy also induces new constraints to the MCNs' applications on lithium-ion batteries, such as reducing the mass loading of MoS 2 , consuming more electrolytes, raising the electrode cost, and increasing the reaction barrier between lithium-ion and MoS 2 . [12] Even though carbon source can improve the conductivity of the electrode, the intrinsic insulating property of 2H MoS 2 remains unchanged, which will significantly limit its rate performance and impede the utilization of the active MoS 2 . Recently, the metastable metallic phase (1T or 1T′) MoS 2 has emerged with promising potential on lithium-ion storage field. As reported, [8,[13][14][15] benefited from its different Mo and S atom coordination of octahedral structure with dense intercalation sites, metallic phase MoS 2 owns five orders of magnitude higher electrical conductivity than that of 2H MoS 2 . This high intrinsic conductivity will be beneficial for the performance of metallic MoS 2 electrode in the following two aspects. On one hand, pure metallic MoS 2 can be directly applied as an anode electrode on lithium-ion batteries without adding any conductive carbon sources, which would facilitate the electrochemical storage fundamental mechanism studying of metallic MoS 2 . On the other hand, the utilization of active MoS 2 can also be maximized, and the lithium-ion charge/discharge capacity could be tremendously enhanced at high current density, therefore intensely improves the rate performance as well as the reversible capacity of metallic MoS 2 as an anode electrode. However, the conventional preparation methods of metallic MoS 2 by alkali metal intercalation and exfoliation are complicated, unstable, and dangerous. [13] Recent reports provided several new strategies to prepare metallic MoS 2 by solvothermal method, [9,16,17] which stabilized the metallic MoS 2 by interlayer Metallic phase molybdenum disulfide (MoS 2 ) is well known for orders of magnitude higher conductivity than 2H semiconducting phase MoS 2 . Herein, for the first time, the authors design and fabricate a novel porous nanotube assembled with vertically aligned metallic MoS 2 nanosheets by using the scalable solvothermal method. This metallic nanotube has the following advantages: (i) intrinsic high electrical conductivity that promotes the rate performance of battery and eliminates the using of conductive additive; (ii) hierarchical, ...

“…Compared with the high‐resolution XPS of MXene/2H MoS 2 ‐C (Figure S9, Supporting Information), the most notable difference in Figure c for MXene/1T‐2H MoS 2 ‐C is that the peaks of S 2p 3/2 and S 2p 1/2 at around 162.2 and 163.4 eV move to the lower energy direction. For N 1s spectra of MXene/1T‐2H MoS 2 ‐C (Figure d), three main peaks located at around 398.6, 400.7, and 401.7 eV, assigned to CN (pyridinic‐N), CN (pyrrolic‐N)) and NMo bonds, respectively. The primary doped species (pyridinic‐N, pyrrolic‐N) enable this carbon matrix to suppress the diffusion of polysulfides .…”

Despite high-energy density and low cost of the lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries, their commercial success is greatly impeded by their severe capacity decay during long-term cycling caused by polysulfide shuttling. Herein, a new phase engineering strategy is demonstrated for making MXene/1T-2H MoS 2 -C nanohybrids for boosting the performance of Li-S batteries in terms of capacity, rate ability, and stability. It is found that the plentiful positively charged S-vacancy defects created on MXene/1T-2H MoS 2 -C, proved by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy and electron paramagnetic resonance, can serve as strong adsorption and activation sites for polar polysulfide intermediates, accelerate redox reactions, and prevent the dissolution of polysulfides. As a consequence, the novel MXene/1T-2H MoS 2 -C-S cathode delivers a high initial capacity of 1194.7 mAh g −1 at 0.1 C, a high level of capacity retention of 799.3 mAh g −1 after 300 cycles at 0.5 C, and reliable operation in soft-package batteries. The present MXene/1T-2H MoS 2 -C becomes among the best cathode materials for Li-S batteries.
