Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2), a typical two-dimensional material, is a promising anode material for lithium-ion batteries because it has three times the theoretical capacity of graphite. The main challenges associated with MoS2 anodes are the structural degradation and the low rate capability caused by the low intrinsic electric conductivity and large strain upon cycling. Here, we design hierarchical MoS2 tubular structures internally wired by carbon nanotubes (CNTs) to tackle these problems. These porous MoS2 tubular structures are constructed from building blocks of ultrathin nanosheets, which are believed to benefit the electrochemical reactions. Benefiting from the unique structural and compositional characteristics, these CNT-wired MoS2 tubular structures deliver a very high specific capacity of ~1320 mAh g(-1) at a current density of 0.1 A g(-1), exceptional rate capability, and an ultralong cycle life of up to 1000 cycles. This work may inspire new ideas for constructing high-performance electrodes for electrochemical energy storage.

Here, we report ternary COFs@MoS-Pd hybrids with an innovative self-sacrificial approach. MoO@Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) microcables were first prepared and then two-dimensional MoS nanosheets (NSs) were integrated onto the surface of COFs, as COFs@MoS, after treatment with hydrothermal reaction. The MoS NSs were used as an excellent support to introduce Pd nanoparticles (NPs) thanks to their reducing ability for the formation of the ternary COFs@MoS-Pd hybrids.

Doping and carbon encapsulation modifications have been proven to be effective methods for enhancing the lithium storage performance of batteries. The hydrothermal method and ball milling are commonly used methods for material synthesis. In this study, a composite anode material rich in carbon nanotubes (CNTs) conductive tubular network connection and encapsulation of SnO-MoS@CNTs (SMC) was synthesized by combining these two methods.

The controlled creation, selective exposure, and activation of more basal planes while simultaneously minimizing the generation and exposure of edge sites are crucial for accelerating methanol synthesis from CO hydrogenation over MoS catalysts but remain a bottleneck. Here, we report a facile method to fabricate heteronanotube catalysts with single-layer MoS coaxially encapsulating the carbon nanotubes (CNTs@MoS) through host-guest chemistry. Inheriting the long tubular structure of CNTs, the grown MoS nanotubes exhibit significantly more basal planes than bulk MoS crystals.

The tubular architecture with multiple components can bring synergistic effects to improve the enzyme-like activity of molybdenum-based nanomaterials. Here, a facile polypyrrole (PPy)-protected hydrothermal sulfidation process was implemented to engineer MoS/AgS heterointerfaces encapsulated in one-dimensional (1D) PPy nanotubes with MoO@Ag nanorods as the self-sacrificing precursor. Notably, the sulfidation treatment led to the generation of MoS nanosheets (NSs) and AgS nanoparticles (NPs) and the creation of a tubular structure with a "kill three birds with one stone" role.

Heteroatom doping is considered an effective way to enhance the catalytic activity of MoS nanosheets (NSs). In the paper, dual-metal doping was proposed to incorporate Fe and Co into hierarchical MoS ultrathin NSs, which grew directly on polypyrrole microtubes (Fe, Co-MoS@PPy), for the enhanced enzyme-like catalytic reaction. The particular hollow tubular structure realized effective electron transfer.
