One-pot synthesis of multicomponent (Mo, Co) metal sulfide/carbon nanoboxes as anode materials for improving Na-ion storage

Abstract

Multicomponent MoS2/Co9S8/C hollow nanocubes were developed by the one-pot solvothermal method and a subsequent calcination process. Benefitting from the merits of hollow structures, the highlyconductive carbon matrix and the buffering effect provided by uniformly-mixed MoS2 and Co9S8, the MoS2/Co9S8/C anode shows high capacity and rate capability as the anode of sodium-ion batteries.
