Efficient and Stable MoS2/CdSe/NiO Photocathode for Photoelectrochemical Hydrogen Generation from Water

A novel CdSe/NiO heteroarchitecture was designed, prepared, and used as a photocathode for hydrogen generation from water. The composite films were structurally, optically, and photoelectrochemically characterized. The deposition of CdSe on the NiO film enhanced light harvesting in the visible‐light region and photoelectrochemical properties. Moreover, the CdSe/NiO photoelectrode showed superior stability both in nitrogen‐saturated and air‐saturated neutral environments. The CdSe/NiO photoelectrode after MoS₂ modification retained the stability of the CdSe/NiO electrode and exhibited higher photocatalytic and photoelectrochemical performances than the unmodified CdSe/NiO electrode. In pH 6 buffer solution, an average hydrogen‐evolution rate of 0.52 μmol h^?1 cm^?2 at ?0.131 V (versus reversible hydrogen electrode, RHE) was achieved on a MoS₂/CdSe/NiO photocathode, with almost 100 % faradaic efficiency.     

Sol–gel derived nano-crystalline CaSnO3 as high capacity anode material for Li-ion batteries

CaSnO₃ with the distorted-perovskite structure was prepared by sol–gel and high temperature solid-state reaction and electrochemical properties were studied in cell with Li as counter electrode. The sol–gel method gave uniform nano-crystallites (200–300 nm) of CaSnO₃ and was shown to deliver a reversible capacity of 380 mAh/g (0.005–1.0 V; 60 mA/g) with good cycling stability up to 45 cycles. The observed capacity involved in the first-discharge and the reversible capacity values during subsequent charge–discharge cycles show that the electrochemical process in CaSnO₃ is similar to other Sn-containing mixed oxide systems, viz., an initial structural reduction with Sn-metal formation followed by reversible Li–Sn alloy formation. The performance with respect to the attainable capacity, its retention on charge–discharge cycling and rate capability is better than the previously reported best-performing bulk Sn-oxide or ATCO starting materials which reveals that the perovskite structure and Ca-ion play a beneficial role.

Three‐Dimensional MoS2 Hierarchical Nanoarchitectures Anchored into a Carbon Layer as Graphene Analogues with Improved Lithium Ion Storage Performance

Much attention has recently been focused on the synthesis and application of graphene analogues of layered nanomaterials owing to their better electrochemical performance than the bulk counterparts. We synthesized graphene analogue of 3D MoS₂ hierarchical nanoarchitectures through a facile hydrothermal route. The graphene‐like MoS₂ nanosheets are uniformly dispersed in an amorphous carbon matrix produced in situ by hydrothermal carbonization. The interlaminar distance between the MoS₂ nanosheets is about 1.38 nm, which is far larger than that of bulk MoS₂ (0.62 nm). Such a layered architecture is especially beneficial for the intercalation and deintercalation of Li⁺. When tested as a lithium‐storage anode material, the graphene‐like MoS₂ hierarchical nanoarchitectures exhibit high specific capacity, superior rate capability, and enhanced cycling performance. This material shows a high reversible capacity of 813.5 mAh g^?1 at a current density of 1000 mA g^?1 after 100 cycles and a specific capacity as high as 600 mAh g^?1 could be retained even at a current density of 4000 mA g^?1. The results further demonstrate that constructing 3D graphene‐like hierarchical nanoarchitectures can effectively improve the electrochemical performance of electrode materials.     

A Nanosheet-Assembled SnO2-Integrated Anode

There is an ever-increasing trend toward bendable and high-energy-density electrochemical storage devices with high strength to fulfil the rapid development of flexible electronics, but they remain a great challenge to be realised by the traditional slurry-casting fabrication processes. To overcome these issues, herein, a facile strategy was proposed to design integrating an electrode with flexible, high capacity, and high tensile strength nanosheets with interconnected copper micro-fibre as a collector, loaded with a novel hierarchical SnO₂ nanoarchitecture, which were assembled into core–shell architecture, with a 1D micro-fibre core and 2D nanosheets shell. When applied as anode materials for LIBs, the resultant novel electrode delivers a large reversible specific capacity of 637.2 mAh g⁻¹ at a high rate of 1C. Such superior capacity may benefit from rational design based on structural engineering to boost synergistic effects of the integrated electrode. The outer shell with the ultrathin 2D nanoarchitecture blocks can provide favourable Li⁺ lateral intercalation lengths and more beneficial transport routes for electrolyte ions, with sufficient void space among the nanosheets to buffer the volume expansion. Furthermore, the interconnected 1D micro-fibre core with outstanding metallic conductivity can offer an efficient electron transport pathway along axial orientation to shorten electron transport. More importantly, the metal’s remarkable flexibility and high tensile strength provide the hybrid integrated electrode with strong bending and stretchability relative to sintered carbon or graphene hosts. The presented strategy demonstrates that this rational nanoarchitecture design based on integrated engineering is an effective route to maintain the structural stability of electrodes in flexible LIBs.     

Water-processable nanocomposite based on polyaniline and 2D molybdenum disulfide for NIR-transparent ambipolar transport layers

Polymer nanocomposite based on stable water-dispersible polyaniline complex with poly(2-acrylamido-2-methyl-1-propanesulfonic acid) (PANI–PAMPSA) and 2D molybdenum disulphide (MoS₂) was developed. The nanocomposite layers obtained by drop-casting were characterized by Vis–NIR- and FTIR spectroscopies, as well as by atomic force, transmission electron, and Kelvin-probe microscopies, X-ray diffraction, cyclic voltammetry, Hall effect, and DC-conductivity measurements. It was shown that the preparation procedure allows easy adjusting of MoS₂ content in the nanocomposite resulting in the growth of DC conductivity by up to six times in the case of 20 wt% MoS₂ as compared with the additive-free PANI–PAMPSA complex. FTIR spectroscopy revealed the existence of hydrophobic interactions between PANI–PAMPSA and 2D MoS₂ nanophase, which facilitate interchain electron transfer. Hall effect studies showed that while increasing MoS₂ content in the nanocomposite, a transition occurs from monopolar hole transport, characteristic of PANI–PAMPSA, to ambipolar transport. This feature makes the obtained PANI–PAMPSA/MoS₂ composite a promising material for different optoelectronic devices, in particular tandem solar cells.     

High-performance supercapacitor electrode based on a nanocomposite of polyaniline and chemically exfoliated MoS<Subscript>2</Subscript> nanosheets

In this study, MoS₂ nanosheets were first prepared by exfoliating its bulk material in HCl/LiNO₃ solution with a yield of 45%, and then a facile strategy was developed to synthesize polyaniline/MoS₂ (PANI/MoS₂) nanocomposite via in situ polymerization. Structural and morphological characterizations of MoS₂ nanosheets and the nanocomposite were investigated by scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM), and X-ray powder diffraction. The results of SEM illustrated that orderly sawtooth polyaniline (PANI) nanoarrays were formed on the surface of MoS₂ nanosheets. The nanocomposite displayed good electrochemical performance as a supercapacitor electrode material. The specific capacitance reached 560 F/g at a current density of 1.0 A g^?1 in 1.0 M H₂SO₄ solution. Such good performance is because that the MoS₂ nanosheets provided a highly electrolytic accessible surface area for redox-active PANI and a direct path for electrons.     

Hierarchical SnO2/Carbon Nanofibrous Composite Derived from Cellulose Substance as Anode Material for Lithium‐Ion Batteries

A hierarchical fibrous SnO₂/carbon nanocomposite composed of fine SnO₂ nanocrystallites immobilized as a thin layer on a carbon nanofiber surface was synthesized employing natural cellulose substance as both scaffold and carbon source. It was achieved by calcination/carbonization of the as‐deposited SnO₂‐gel/cellulose hybrid in an argon atmosphere. As being employed as an anode material for lithium‐ion batteries, the porous structures, small SnO₂ crystallite sizes, and the carbon buffering matrix possessed by the nanocomposite facilitate the electrode–electrolyte contact, promote the electron transfer and Li⁺ diffusion, and relieve the severe volume change and aggregation of the active particles during the charge/discharge cycles. Hence, the nanocomposite showed high reversible capacity, significant cycling stability, and rate capability that are superior to the nanotubular SnO₂ and SnO₂ sol–gel powder counter materials. For such a composite with 27.8 wt % SnO₂ content and 346.4 m² g^?1 specific surface area, a capacity of 623 mAh g^?1 was delivered after 120 cycles at 0.2 C. Further coating of the SnO₂/carbon nanofibers with an additional carbon layer resulted in an improved cycling stability and rate performance.     

The electrochemical properties of Li/TEGDME/MoS2 cells using multi-wall carbon nanotubes as a conducting agent

We investigated the first charge–discharge behavior and cycling property of Li batteries using MoS₂ electrodes with multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWNT) as a conducting agent. The MoS₂ electrode was prepared using MWNT as the conducting agent. The battery gave a high first discharge capacity of 440 mAhg^?1 with a plateau potential region at 1.1 V. The Li/MoS₂ battery using MWNT showed a higher discharge capacity compared to acetylene black. After ten cycles of the battery using MWNT, the discharge capacity decreased to 120 mAhg^?1, which corresponded to 30% of the first discharge capacity. Adding a carbon nanotube into the MoS₂ electrode improved the first discharge behavior, but did not affect the cycling property of the Li/MoS₂ cell.     

Fabrication of Large-Area Molybdenum Disulfide Device Arrays Using Graphene/Ti Contacts

Two-dimensional (2D) molybdenum disulfide (MoS₂) is the most mature material in 2D material fields owing to its relatively high mobility and scalability. Such noticeable properties enable it to realize practical electronic and optoelectronic applications. However, contact engineering for large-area MoS₂ films has not yet been established, although contact property is directly associated to the device performance. Herein, we introduce graphene-interlayered Ti contacts (graphene/Ti) into large-area MoS₂ device arrays using a wet-transfer method. We achieve MoS₂ devices with superior electrical and photoelectrical properties using graphene/Ti contacts, with a field-effect mobility of 18.3 cm²/V∙s, on/off current ratio of 3 × 10⁷, responsivity of 850 A/W, and detectivity of 2 × 10¹² Jones. This outstanding performance is attributable to a reduction in the Schottky barrier height of the resultant devices, which arises from the decreased work function of graphene induced by the charge transfer from Ti. Our research offers a direction toward large-scale electronic and optoelectronic applications based on 2D materials.     

Tube-covering-tube nanostructured polyaniline/carbon nanotube array composite electrode with high capacitance and superior rate performance as well as good cycling stability

The combination of a vertically aligned carbon nanotube array (CNTA) framework and electrodeposition technique leads to a tube-covering-tube nanostructured polyaniline (PANI)/CNTA composite electrode with hierarchical porous structure, large surface area, and superior conductivity. PANI/CNTA composite electrode has high specific capacitance (1030 F g⁻¹), superior rate capability (95% capacity retention at 118 A g⁻¹), and high stability (5.5% capacity loss after 5000 cycles). Energy storage characteristics of the PANI/CNTA composite are presented in this paper.     

Hierarchical MoS2/polyaniline binary hybrids with high performance for improving fire safety of epoxy resin

Here we report a facile strategy to fabricate phosphoric acid doped polyaniline/molybdenum disulfide (PANI/MoS₂) hybrids as high-performance nanofillers in epoxy (EP) resin for the first time. In situ growth of PANI on the surface of two-dimensional MoS₂ template resulted in the uniform dispersion and strong interfacial adhesion of PANI/MoS₂ hybrids within EP matrix, which can be confirmed by the obvious increase (13.5°C) in glass transition temperature (T_g) of EP composites. The MoS₂ nanosheets also acted as a critical component to generate synergistic effect with PANI on reducing the fire hazards of EP resin. It resulted in a remarkable removal of flammable decomposed products and a considerable reduction of toxic CO yield. The dramatical decreases in real-time smoke density and total smoke production, and high-graphitized char layer in condensed phase were obtained for EP composite with 5 wt% PANI/MoS₂ hybrids. The multiple synergistic effects (synergistic dispersion and synergistic char formation) are believed to be the primary source for these obvious enhancements of properties of EP composites. This facile strategy may achieve the potential application of functionalized MoS₂ in polymeric nanocomposites.     

Micro‐MoS2 with Excellent Reversible Sodium‐Ion Storage

Low storage capacity and poor cycling stability are the main drawbacks of the electrode materials for sodium‐ion (Na‐ion) batteries, due to the large radius of the Na ion. Here we show that micro‐structured molybdenum disulfide (MoS₂) can exhibit high storage capacity and excellent cycling and rate performances as an anode material for Na‐ion batteries by controlling its intercalation depth and optimizing the binder. The former method is to preserve the layered structure of MoS₂, whereas the latter maintains the integrity of the electrode during cycling. A reversible capacity of 90 mAh g^?1 is obtained on a potential plateau feature when less than 0.5 Na per formula unit is intercalated into micro‐MoS₂. The fully discharged electrode with sodium alginate (NaAlg) binder delivers a high reversible capacity of 420 mAh g^?1. Both cells show excellent cycling performance. These findings indicate that metal chalcogenides, for example, MoS₂, can be promising Na‐storage materials if their operation potential range and the binder can be appropriately optimized.

Pyrrolic nitrogen-doped carbon sandwiched monolayer MoS<Subscript>2</Subscript> vertically anchored on graphene oxide for high-performance sodium-ion battery anodes

In this work, a novel pyrrolic nitrogen-doped carbon sandwiched monolayer MoS₂ hybrid was prepared. This sandwiched hybrid vertically anchors on graphene oxide as anode materials for sodium-ion batteries. Such electrode was fabricated by facile ionic liquid-assisted reflux and annealing methods. Owing to rational structure and enhancement from pyrrolic nitrogen dopant, this unique MoS₂/C-graphene hybrid exhibits reversible specific capacity of 486 mAh g^?1 after 1000 cycles with a low average fading capacity of 0.15 mAh g^?1 (fading cyclic rate of ca. 0.03% per cycle). A capacity of 330 mAh g^?1 is remained at the current densities of 10.0 A g^?1. The proposed strategy provides a convenient way to create new pyrrolic nitrogen-doped hybrids for energy field and other related applications.

Coordination‐Driven Hierarchical Assembly of Silver Nanoparticles on MoS2 Nanosheets for Improved Lithium Storage

We report a novel strategy for the hierarchical assembly of Ag nanoparticles (NPs) on MoS₂ nanosheets through coordination by using a multifunctional organic ligand. The presence of Ag NPs on the surface of MoS₂ nanosheets inhibits their agglomeration, thereby providing increased interlayer spacing for easy Li⁺ ion intercalation. Such a unique hybrid architecture also ensures sufficient percolation pathways on the whole surface of the MoS₂ nanosheets. Moreover, the high rigidity and low deformability of the Ag NPs effectively preserve the hybrid architecture during the charge–discharge process, which translates into a high cycle stability. A prominent synergistic effect between MoS₂ and Ag is witnessed. When the Ag content is only 5 wt %, the Ag–MoS₂ hybrid delivers a reversible capacity as high as 920 mA h g^?1 at a current density of 100 mA g^?1, making the Ag–MoS₂ hybrid an attractive candidate for next‐generation LIBs.     

Hierarchical MoS2@Carbon Microspheres as Advanced Anodes for Li‐Ion Batteries

Hierarchical hybridized nanocomposites with rationally constructed compositions and structures have been considered key for achieving superior Li‐ion battery performance owing to their enhanced properties, such as fast lithium ion diffusion, good collection and transport of electrons, and a buffer zone for relieving the large volume variations during cycling processes. Hierarchical MoS₂@carbon microspheres (HMCM) have been synthesized in a facile hydrothermal treatment. The structure analyses reveal that ultrathin MoS₂ nanoflakes (ca. 2–5 nm) are vertically supported on the surface of carbon nanospheres. The reversible capacity of the HMCM nanocomposite is maintained at 650 mA h g^?1 after 300 cycles at 1 A g^?1. Furthermore, the capacity can reach 477 mA h g^?1 even at a high current density of 4 A g^?1. The outstanding electrochemical performance of HMCM is attributed to the synergetic effect between the carbon spheres and the ultrathin MoS₂ nanoflakes. Additionally, the carbon matrix can supply conductive networks and prevent the aggregation of layered MoS₂ during the charge/discharge process; and ultrathin MoS₂ nanoflakes with enlarged surface areas, which can guarantee the flow of the electrolyte, provide more active sites and reduce the diffusion energy barrier of Li⁺ ions.
