MoS2 as anode material of lithium ion batteries has excellent performance. It has been reported that the performance of MoS2 can be improved by carbon composition. In order to further understand the role of the composition and morphology of carbon and MoS2 in their electrochemical properties, Liu’s group try to developed a general method to synthesize NC@MoS2 composites with different structures. (Journal of Materials Chemistry A,2019,7,6197–6204, Corresponding author).
Through the efforts of team members, it was found that there was interaction between precursors that formed composites, which could affect the self-assembly process of NC@MoS2 composites. Composites with double shells, yolk-shells, core-shells, hollow spheres and nanorods were grown by the same method by adjusting different proportions of precursors. It is also found that nitrogen doping in composites can effectively improve the storage capacity of lithium ions. This method of building materials can be widely used in many fields.
