A facile one-step solid-phase synthesis strategy is developed for synthesizing a binder-free molybdenum disulfide/carbon fibers paper (MoS 2 /CFP) anode. The microstructure, composition, morphology and electrochemical performances were investigated. It is found that the thin MoS 2 layers are well anchored on the interlaced carbon fibers to form MoS 2 /CFP, which has mesoporous structure and large specific surface area of ∼18.8 m 2 g -1 . As a result, the obtained MoS 2 /CFP anode exhibits a reversible capacity of 261 mAh·g −1 with 31.2% loading ratio of MoS 2 . After subtracting the capacity of CFP, the MoS 2 in the composite anode delivers a reversible capacity of 539 mAh·g −1 and shows better cycle stability than commercial MoS 2 after 100 cycles at 100 mA g −1 . The remarkable electrochemical performances could be attributed to the buffer space among carbon fibers for the volume changes of MoS 2 as well as the highly conductive carbon fibers network, suggesting that the MoS 2 /CFP is a promising binder-free anode for lithium-ion batteries.
Ni 3 S 4 @MoS 2 nanosheets grown on the carbon fiber paper (Ni 3 S 4 @MoS 2 /CFP) were successfully prepared via a facile one-step hydrothermal technique. Serving as a supercapacitor electrode, the obtaining Ni 3 S 4 @MoS 2 /CFP exhibits a remarkable specific capacitance of 1296 F/g, high rate capability of 57.8%, and excellent cycling stability of 96.2% retention after 5000 cycles. The superior electrochemical properties of Ni 3 S 4 @MoS 2 /CFP nanocomposite is attributed to the synergistic effects of the layeredNi 3 S 4 , MoS 2 and the conductive CFP.
