Amorphous MoS2 as the cathode of lithium secondary batteries

A simple electrochemical route to metallic phase trilayer MoS2: evaluation as electrocatalysts and supercapacitors

“…The shape of the CV reported here is similar to that reported in the literature except that the peak-to-peak separation of the Li + intercalation and de-intercalation is wider. 25 This could be due to the differing geometry of the electrochemical cell (and scan rate) since we utilised a three electrode cell where the working and counter electrodes were separated by a few centimetres. In contrast, most studies used a two electrode cell in a battery-type (coin cell) configuration which then minimizes the voltage drop.…”

Electrical Transport and High‐Performance Photoconductivity in Individual ZrS2 Nanobelts

“…The large band-edge excitation of the d -d transition centered at a metal site gives rise to the unique electronic features and, therefore, results in numerous applications in catalysis, [ 1 ] electrochemical intercalation, [ 2 ] lithium-ion batteries, [ 3 ] and superconductivity. [ 4 ] Furthermore, by miniaturizing such structures down to the nanoscale, many novel phenomena have been discovered and unique properties have largely been improved, [5][6][7] but the optoelectronic properties of these materials have rarely been studied.…”

Structure Analyses of Amorphous MoS₃ Active Materials in All-solid-state Lithium Batteries

“…However, reported literature on amorphous electrodes is limited, compared to those of crystalline electrodes. Within that literature amorphous oxide based electrodes, [7][8][9][10][11] amorphous sulfide based electrodes [12][13][14][15][16][17] and amorphous phosphorus based electrodes 18,19 were reported. For example, amorphous V 2 O 5 exhibited better rechargeability than crystalline V 2 O 5 .…”
