Humate-assisted Synthesis of MoS₂/C Nanocomposites via Co-Precipitation/Calcination Route for High Performance Lithium Ion Batteries.

ABSTRACT: A facile, cost-effective, non-toxic, and surfactant-free route has been developed to synthesize MoS₂/carbon (MoS₂/C) nanocomposites. Potassium humate consists of a wide variety of oxygen-containing functional groups, which is considered as promising candidates for functionalization of graphene. Using potassium humate as carbon source, two-dimensional MoS₂/C nanosheets with irregular shape were synthesized via a stabilized co-precipitation/calcination process. Electrochemical performance of the samples as an anode of lithium ion battery was measured, demonstrating that the MoS₂/C nanocomposite calcinated at 700 °C (MoS₂/C-700) electrode showed outstanding performance with a high discharge capacity of 554.9 mAh g^- 1 at a curre
