Abstract
-
Highly ordered mesoporous MoS 2 with a high surface area and narrow pore-size distribution is synthesized by a vacuum assisted impregnation route. The mesoporous MoS 2 demonstrates an expanded d 002 spacing of 0.66 nm. The mesoporous MoS 2 electrode achieves an excellent high rate capacity of 608 mAh g -1 at the discharge current of 10 A g -1 (-15C), which places MoS 2 as a viable next generation high power source for electric vehicles. © 2012 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
