Laboratory study demonstrates reversible lithium-ion intercalation in molybdenum selenide nanotubes, suggesting safer alternatives to standard carbon electrodes.
Large amounts of Li ions can be electrochemically intercalated into and controllably released by the channels between individual molybdenum selenide nanotubes (see Figure), forming the basis for a promising safe new battery electrode material. The use of dichalcogenide nanotubes rather than the more usual carbon is shown to have important advantages.
