Abstract
-
MoS2 with expanded layers was synthesized and characterized as an anode material for lithium ion batteries in an ether-based electrolyte by cutting off the terminal discharge voltage at 1.0 V to prevent a MoS2 conversion reaction. The as-prepared MoS2 achieved 96% capacity retention even after 1400 cycles and showed good performance in a full cell with LiCoO2 as the counter electrode.
