MoS2 Layers Decorated RGO Composite Prepared by a One-Step High-Temperature Solvothermal Method as Anode for Lithium-Ion Batteries

A one-step high-temperature solvothermal approach to the synthesis of monolayer or bilayer MoS 2 anchored onto reduced graphene oxide (RGO) sheet (denoted as MoS 2 /RGO) is described. It was found that single-layered or double-layered MoS 2 were synthesized directly without an extra exfoliation step and well dispersed on the surface of crumpled RGO sheets with random orientation. The prepared MoS 2 /RGO composites delivered a high reversible capacity of 900 mAhg − 1 after 200 cycles at a current density of 200 mAg − 1 as well as good rate capability as anode active material for lithium ion batteries. This one-step high-temperature hydrothermal strategy provides a simple, cost-effective and eco-friendly way to the fabrication of exfoliated MoS 2 layers deposited onto RGO sheets.
