Abstract

We report a simple and scalable process to synthesize the core–shellnanostructure of MoS2@N-doped carbon nanosheets (MoS2@C),in which polydopamine is coated on the MoS2 surface and thencarbonized. Transmission electron microscopy reveals that the as-synthesizedMoS2@C possesses a nanoscopic and ultrathin layer ofMoS2 sheets with a thin and conformal coating of carbon layers(∼5 nm). The MoS2@C demonstrates a superiorelectrochemical performance as an anode material for lithium ion batteriescompared to exfoliated MoS2 sample. This unique core–shellstructure is capable of excellent delivery of Li+ ion incharging–discharging process: a specific capacity as high as 1239 mAh g−1, a high rate of charging-discharging capability evenat a high current rate of 10 A g−1 while retaining 597 mAh g−1, and a good cycle stability over 70 cycles at a highcurrent rate of 2 A g−1.
