The low electronic conductivity and poor structural stability restrict the electrochemical performance of conventional MoS 2 material. Vertically standing MoS 2 nanosheets with abundant active sites were synthesized via magnetron sputtering. To address the problem of cycling stability and Li + transport rate of MoS 2 as an anode for lithium-ion batteries, we fabricated a hybrid architecture in which the entire MoS 2 surface was covered by a highly conductive TiO 2 capping layer. The structure establishes an electric field at the MoS 2/TiO 2 hetero-interface, driving electrons into MoS 2 and thereby improving its reaction kinetics, cycling stability, and Li + storage capacity. Such a MoS 2@TiO 2 heterojunction exhibits outstanding electrochemical performance, with a reversible capacity of 1280 mAh g -1 after 100 cycles at 0.5 A g -1, an excellent rate capability of 1135 mAh g -1 at 20 A g -1 and a long cycling stability of 507 mAh g -1 and Coulomb efficiency (CE) approaching 100% each cycle within 500 cycles at 2 A g -1. The DOS simulation reveals that the formation of oxygen vacancies in TiO 2 is the origin of electron donation to MoS 2, reducing the electrochemical reaction potential and the Li + diffusion barrier. EIS results also demonstrate lower Li + transfer resistance in the MoS 2@TiO 2 heterojunction.
