Abstract
WS2 nanotubes were synthesized by sintering amorphous WS3 at high temperature under flowing hydrogen. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy observation revealed that the as-prepared WS2 nanotubes have an open end with an inner hollow core of about 4.6 nm. We studied the lithium intercalation behavior of WS2 nanotubes. The WS2 nanotubes demonstrated a stable cyclability in a wide voltage range ~0.1-3.1 V vs. Li/Li1). The nanotubes could provide a new class of electrode materials for lithium-ion batteries.
