Abstract

Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) are becoming increasingly popular because of their low cost and the relative abundance of sodium compared to lithium. However, the energy density of SIBs is low and needs to be improved. In this study, the reaction mechanism of MoS₂ as a high-capacity negative electrode for SIBs is studied through the electrochemical and spectroscopic analyses. MoS₂ undergoes an insertion reaction with sodium, which is followed by a conversion reaction. A comparative study of MoS₂ with MoO₂ reveals that MoS₂ can store sodium through the insertion reaction because it has a larger interlayer distance than that of MoO₂. In addition, the bonds of MoS₂ are weaker than those of MoO₂, which favors the conversion reaction of MoS₂ with sodium.
