    Abstract:
    An integrated WS2 @CMK-3 nanocomposite has been prepared by a one-step hydrothermal method and then used as the anode material for lithium-ion and sodium-ion batteries. Ultrathin WS2 nanosheets have been successfully embedded into the ordered mesoporous carbon (CMK-3) framework. Owing to the few-layered nanostructure of WS2 , as well as the high electronic conductivity and the volume confinement effect of CMK-3, the material shows larger discharge capacity, better rate capability, and improved cycle stability than pristine WS2 . When tested in lithium-ion batteries, the material delivers a reversible capacity of 720 mA h g-1 after 100 cycles at a current density of 100 mA g-1 . A large discharge capacity of 307 mA h g-1 is obtained at a current density of 2 A g-1 . When used in sodium-ion batteries, the material exhibits a capacity of 333 mA h g-1 at 100 mA g-1 without capacity fading after 70 cycles. A discharge capacity of 230 mA h g-1 is obtained at 2 A g-1 . This excellent performance demonstrates that the WS2 @CMK-3 nanocomposite has great potential as a high-performance anode material for next-generation rechargeable batteries.
