Abstract

Transition-metal sulfides/carbon hybrids with a multiscale, multidimensional, and hierarchically ordered architecture have been designed and synthesized by a general and facile method. As a result of this novel and unique architecture design, the obtained hybrid electrodes show attractive reversibility and cycle stability as well as excellent rate capability.

Keywords: hierarchic structures; lithium storage; multidimensional structures; multiscale structures; transition-metal sulfides.
