TiO2-B nanowire arrays coated with layered MoS2 nanosheets for lithium and sodium storage

Abstract

TiO₂-B nanowire arrays coated with MoS₂ nanosheets (TiO₂-B/MoS₂) have been directly grown on a current collector without any binder or carbon and explored in Li-ion and Na-ion batteries. The 3D TiO₂-B/MoS₂ nanowire array anodes show enhanced capacity and rate capability with good cyclability due to the structural stability of TiO₂-B nanowire arrays and the high capacity and conductivity of 2D MoS₂ nanosheets.
