On the impact of Vertical Alignment of MoS2 for Efficient Lithium Storage

Abstract Herein, we report energy storage devices, which are based on densely packed, vertically aligned MoS2 (VA-MoS2) or planar oriented MoS2 (PO-MoS2) and compare their electrochemical performances. The VA-MoS2 films have been processed by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) to reach unprecedented mi...
