The Fabrication of ZIF-L Derived Zns/Mos₂@NC Anode Materials for Remarkable Lithium-Ion Storage

The enhancement of electrochemical performance in lithium-ion batteries can be achieved through the incorporation of MoS₂ with carbon materials and various metal sulfides. In this study, a ZnS/MoS₂ heterostructure was developed, featuring a two-dimensional nitrogen-doped carbon nanosheet (NC) backbone. The synthesis of ZnMoZIF-L precursors was accomplished by introducing a Mo source in a 1 : 1 molar ratio during the ZIF-L synthesis process. Following high-temperature carbonization and vulcanization treatment, ZnS/MoS₂@NC composite materials were successfully synthesized. Compared to the unvulcanized ZnO/MoO₃@NC and MoS₂ samples, the ZnS/MoS₂@NC composite exhibits remarkable lithium storage performance. At a current density of 500 mA g^-1, the initial reversible capacity capacity is still as high as 1674 mAh g^-1. Furthermore, this composite material demonstrates optimal rate capabilities and a significant contribution to pseudocapacitance. The nitrogen-doped carbon framework effectively mitigates volume changes, while the heterostructural design provides more active sites for lithium-ions, thereby enhancing lithium storage performance.
