An ordered mesoporous WS2 anode material with superior electrochemical performance for lithium ion batteries

Ordered mesoporous tungsten sulfide (WS2) with high surface area and narrow pore size distribution was synthesized by a vacuum assisted impregnation route. The as-prepared mesoporous WS2 exhibited a high lithium storage capacity of 805 mA h g(-1) at a current of 0.1 A g(-1) and an excellent high rate capability.
