This study reports the design and fabrication of ultrathin MoS2 nanosheets@metal organic framework-derived N-doped carbon nanowall array hybrids on flexible carbon cloth (CC@CN@MoS2) as a free-standing anode for high-performance sodium ion batteries. When evaluated as an anode for sodium ion battery, the as-fabricated CC@CN@MoS2 electrode exhibits a high capacity (653.9 mA h g−1 of the second cycle and 619.2 mA h g−1 after 100 cycles at 200 mA g−1), excellent rate capability, and long cycling life stability (265 mA h g−1 at 1 A g−1 after 1000 cycles). The excellent electrochemical performance can be attributed to the unique 2D hybrid structures, in which the ultrathin MoS2 nanosheets with expanded interlayers can provide shortened ion diffusion paths and favorable Na+ insertion/extraction space, and the porous N-doped carbon nanowall arrays on flexible carbon cloth are able to improve the conductivity and maintain the structural integrity. Moreover, the N-doping-induced defects also make them favorable for the effective storage of sodium ions, which enables the enhanced capacity and rate performance of MoS2. A unique 2D MoS2 nanosheets@N-doped carbon nanowall hybrid structure on carbon cloth is fabricated and utilized as an efficient anode for high-performance sodium ion batteries.
