Abstract

The full extent to which the electrochemical properties of MoS₂ electrodes are influenced by their morphological characteristics, such as crystalline disorder, remains unclear. Here, we report that disorder introduced by ball-milling decreases the Faradaic component of cell capacity and leads to increasingly pseudo-capacitive behaviour. After high temperature annealing, a more battery-like character of the cell is restored, consistent with a decrease in disorder. These findings aid the optimisation of MoS₂ electrodes, which show promise in several battery technologies.

Keywords: MoS₂, molybdenum sulfide, electrochemistry, battery, capacitor, pseudo-capacitor, materials chemistry, lithium.
