MoS2 hierarchical hollow cubic cages assembled by bilayers: one-step synthesis and their electrochemical hydrogen storage properties

Chem Commun (Camb). 2006 Dec 7:(45):4738-40. doi: 10.1039/b610601c. Epub 2006 Sep 26.

Abstract

Micrometer scaled MoS2 hierarchical hollow cubic cages assembled by bilayers can be synthesized via a one-step self-assembly coupled with intermediate crystal templating process without any surfactant, in which the intermediate K2NaMoO3F3 crystal formed in-situ and then served as the self-sacrificed template based on the Kirkendall Effect; The MoS2 hierarchical hollow cubic cages were employed for electrochemical hydrogen storage with a high capacity of 375 mAh g(-1) due to the more active edges exposing on the upright-standing nanoplates.
