We report the electrochemistry of a hitherto unexplored Na2MoS4 phase as a conversion electrode material for Na‐ and Li‐ion batteries. The material adopts an amorphous coordination polymer structure with mixed Mo and S valences. XPS and XRD analysis reveal a complex interplay between Mo and S redox chemistry, while excluding the formation of free sulfur, lithium sulfide, or other crystalline phases. Na2MoS4 behaves as a mixed ionic–electronic conductor, with electronic conductivity of 6.1×10−4 S cm−1, that permits carbon‐free application in an electrochemical cell. A reversible capacity of up to 500 mAh g−1 was attained, corresponding to a five‐electron redox exchange, with species ranging from (highest oxidized state) to 5MoS4> (lowest oxidized state). This study emphasizes the excellent charge‐storage performances of Na2MoS4 for Li‐ or Na‐ion batteries, and enriches the emerging library and knowledge of sulfide phases with mixed anionic and cationic redox properties.

“…Since no crystalline sulfides with S/Mo ratio greater than 2 exist on the phase diagram MoeS, their preparations are all soft chemistry ones and often carried out using sulfur-rich thiomolybdates. Rice temperatures [35]. An X-ray amorphous phase with the analytical formula MoS 4 was synthesized.…”

“…Among the amorphous transition metal polysulfides, MoS 3 is probably the most studied material. As other amorphous solids, it may be synthesized by soft chemical methods, in particular, by hydrolysis or thermolysis of thiomolybdate (NH 4 ) 2 MoS 4 , while by varying the precursor (taking (NH 4 ) 2 Mo 2 S 12 instead) and reaction conditions, other molybdenum polysulfides may be produced (MoS 4 , MoS 5.6 , MoS 6 ). An alternative synthetic approach to chalcogen‐rich MoS x , i. e. the reaction of metal carbonyls and sulfur/selenium in boiling benzene was studied in the early works of our group, and later developed by Hibble and co‐authors, using 1,2‐dichlorobenzene .…”
Sulfur‐rich transition metal polysulfides MS5 (M=Mo, W) are synthesized by a low‐temperature solution method from corresponding carbonyls M(CO)6 and elemental sulfur. Extensive characterization reveals that all sulfur atoms are assembled into disulfide ligands (S−S) within the structure of the amorphous spherical particles. Their thermodynamic stabilities are estimated for the first time using density functional theory (DFT) calculations, indicating two stable chain models composed either of binuclear [M2S8] or trinuclear [M3S12] fragments linked through S−S units. Molecular dynamics (MD) DFTB simulation proves that the S−S bridges predetermine the supreme flexibility of the polysulfide chains as primary structures of MS5 and their globular secondary arrangements. Interestingly, this type of structural organization is reminiscent of that for classical polymers. Thus, the reasons for MS5 forming exclusively as amorphous phases are uncovered, which may be extended to many other sulfur‐rich polysulfides. The potential of these materials as increased capacity cathodes for lithium‐ion batteries is shown.
