Abstract

A sandwich-like 2D-mesoporous-carbon/MoS₂ -nanosheet heterostructure is fabricated for the first time. The hybrid structure is composed of three well-stacked monolayers: an ordered-mesoporous-carbon monolayer, a MoS₂ monolayer, and a further ordered-mesoporous-carbon monolayer. This unique heterostructure exhibits excellent electrochemical performance as an anode material for lithium-ion batteries.

Keywords: 2D materials; carbon; lithium-ion batteries; mesoporous materials; synthesis.
