▎ 摘  要

In the present work, low-cost natural molybdenite was used to make a MoS2/N-doped graphene composite through coulombic attraction with the aid of (3-aminopropyl)-triethoxysilane and the electrochemical performance was greatly improved by solvent-free microwave irradiation for tens of seconds. The characterization results indicated that most (3-aminopropyl)-triethoxysilane can decompose and release N atoms to further improve the N-doping degree in NG during the microwave irradiation. In addition, the surface groups of N-doped graphene were removed and the particle size of MoS2 was greatly decreased after the microwave irradiation. As a result, the composite electrode prepared with microwave irradiation exhibited a better rate performance (1077.3 mA h g(-1) at 0.1C and 638 mA h g(-1) at 2C) than the sample prepared without microwave irradiation (1013.6 mA h g(-1) at 0.1C and 459.1 mA h g(-1) at 2C). Therefore, the present results suggest that solvent-free microwave irradiation is an effective way to improve the electrochemical properties of MoS2/N-doped graphene composite electrodes. This work also demonstrates that natural molybdenite is a promising low-cost anode material for lithium-ion batteries.
