Abstract

Abstract: Molybdenum disulfide nanoflakes were synthesized by a simple hydrothermal process using sodium molybdate and thiourea as reactants at a relatively low temperature. X-ray diffraction(XRD) and transmission elec-tron microscopy(TEM) indicate that the samples have the structure of 2H-MoS₂ and the morphology of nanoflakes with the average thickness around 5-10 nm. The results of electrochemical properties indicate that the morphology and size of MoS₂ particles have effects on their capacity when they are used as the anode for lithium ion battery. The as-prepared MoS₂ samples have high reversible discharge capacity up to 994.6 mA·h·g^-1 for the MoS₂-1 elec-trode and 930.1 mA·h·g^-1 for the MoS₂-2 electrode and show excellent cycling performances. The MoS₂-1 electrode has a better cycling stability than the MoS₂-2 electrode due to their difference in the uniformity of the samples.
