However, the development of high-performance anode materials is one of the key elements for exploiting this electrochemical energy storage system at practical levels. Here, we report a source-template synthetic strategy for fabricating a variety of nanowire-in-nanotube MS_xTe_y@C (M = Mo, W, Re) structures with an in situ-grown carbon film coating, termed as nanocables. Among the various materials prepared, the MoS_1.5Te_0.5@C nanocables are investigated as negative electrode active material in combination with expanded graphite at the positive electrode and NaPF₆-based non-aqueous electrolyte soNature communicationsCarbon-coated MoS_1.5Te_0.5 nanocables for efficient sodium-ion storage in non-aqueous dual-ion batteries.PMC881425221875253, 51872048 and 520730612021J01430167Liu YLi JWen ZHu XZhan HZhong GYuan JTang YfalseCarbon-coated MoS_1.5Te_0.5 nanocables for efficient sodium-ion storage in non-aqueous dual-ion batteries.Sodium-based dual-ion batteries have received increased attention owing to their appealing cell voltage (i.e., >3 V) and cost-effective features.
