Abstract

The low capacities of commercial Li ion batteries and cycle instabilities of amorphous metal sulfide based batteries impose constraints on their utilization for large-scale energy storage. We report here the acid-free, room-temperature (RT), and solution-based synthesis of a chalcogenide-carbonaceous hybrid aerogel, termed as “chalcocarbogel”, comprising molybdenum sulfide (MoS_x) and graphene oxide (GO). The chalcocarbogel is a nanoparticle-aggregated, porous, amorphous gel consisting of Mo₃S₁₃ and Mo₂S₁₂-like structures as determined by synchrotron X-ray PDF, XANES, and EXAFS. The MoS_x-GO chalcocarbogel demonstrates high specific capacities of ∼1215 and ∼807 mAh g^-1 for Li/MoS_x-GO and Na/MoS_x-GO cells, respectively, for a 50 mAg^-1 discharge rate during the first cycle. After the activation cycles, the MoS_x-GO chalcocarbogel stabilizes, maintaining high specific capacities of approximately ∼700 mAh g^-1 for Li/MoS_x-GO and ∼473 mAh g^-1 for Na/MoS_x-GO cells, while continuously cycling. The MoS_x-GO aerogel reported here serves as a promising platform to develop chalcocarbogels for applications spanning both Li and Na ion batteries.
