This is the first targeted review of the synthesis-microstructure- electrochemical performance relations of MoS2-based anodes and cathodes for secondary lithium ion batteries (LIBs). Molybdenum disulfide is a highly promising material for LIBs that compensates for its intermediate insertion voltage...
