The structural stability and reaction kinetics of anodes are essential factors for high-performance battery systems. Herein, the molybdenum sulfide selenide (MoSSe) nanosheets anchored on carbon tubes (MoSSe@CTs) are synthesized by a facile hydrothermal method combining with further selenization/calcination treatment. The unique tubular carbon skeletons expose abundant active sites for the well-dispersed growth of MoS ultrathin nanosheets on both sides of the tubular carbon skeleton. In addition, the further selenization treatment can expand the interlayer spacing of molybdenum sulfide (MoS) nanosheets and facilitate the fast sodium/potassium-ion transition and storage. When used in sodium-ion batteries (SIBs), MoSSe@CTs electrode delivers a specific capacity of 486 mAh g at 1 A g and retains a stable reversible capacity of 465 mAh g after 1000 cycles, indicating its good cycling stability. For potassium-ion batteries (KIBs), the MoSSe@CTs composite shows a capacity of 352 mA hg at 1 A g and a good cycling stability (maintains at 272 mA hg after 1000 cycles). This work shows informative guiding significance for exploring advanced electrode materials of sodium/potassium-ion batteries.

MoS coatings are used extensively in aerospace and defense applications due to their ultralow friction and high wear resistance. Burnished and resin-bonded MoS coatings are commonly used in these applications due to simplicity in deposition and history of use, despite issues with consistency in coating properties and performance. Physical vapor deposition (PVD) of MoS thin films has emerged as a process alternative in the past 50 years, promising far greater control over film structure and composition but at a greater cost.

Applying antioxidant coating materials to prepare surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) sensing substrates can effectively enhance the sensitivity and stability for the analysis of molecules. In this study, we have leveraged SERS to develop an innovative sensor for the swift identification of Paraquat (PQ), enabling on-site detection of this herbicide. The newly devised sensor distinguishes itself through its exceptional oxidation resistance.

Targeting the peculiarities of tumor tissue microenvironment different from normal tissue, such as lower pH and overexpression of hydrogen peroxide is the key to effective treatment. In this study, acid-responsive Z-scheme heterojunctions polyglycolated MoS/CoFeO (MoS = molybdenum disulfide, CoFeO = cobalt ferrite) was synthesized using a two-step hydrothermal method, designated as MSCO-PEG, guided by dual modes of photoacoustic imagine (PAI) and nuclear magnetic imaging (MRI). MSCO-PEG (PEG = polyethylene glycol) responded to the acidic environment of tumor tissues and overexpression of hydrogen peroxide to turn on multimodal synergistic treatment of tumor cells under near-infrared-II (NIR-II) illumination.

Article Synopsis
  • During fast-charging, uneven lithium plating on graphite anodes leads to performance issues and safety risks for lithium-ion batteries due to the formation of a passivation layer known as the solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI).
  • A molybdenum disulfide (MoS) coating on natural graphite modifies the SEI properties, resulting in faster charging times and improved long-term cycling performance by enhancing lithium transport and reducing interfacial resistance.
  • The MoS-NG anode demonstrates superior fast-charging capabilities, achieving a charging time of 14.7 minutes at 80% state of charge, making it a viable option for electric vehicle applications over 300 cycles without sacrificing energy density.
