ChemInform Abstract

MoS2 nanotubes, synthesized by direct reaction of (NH4)2MoS4 and H2 (400 °C, 1 h), can be electrochemically charged and discharged with the highest capacity of 260 mAh/g (corresponding to the formula of H1.57MoS2, 0.97 wt.% H2) at 50 mA/g and 20 °C. It is suggested that the high capacity is due to the enhanced electrochemical-catalytic activity of the highly nanoporous structure.
