The development of next generation Li ion battery has attracted many attentions of researchers due to the rapidly increasing demands to portable energy storage devices. General Li metal/alloy anodes are confronted with challenges of dendritic crystal formation and slow charge/discharge rate. Recently, the prosperity of two-dimensional materials opens a new window for the design of battery anode. In the present study, MoS2/graphene heterostructure is investigate for the anode application of Li ion battery using first-principles calculations. The Li binding energy, open-circuit voltage, and electronic band structures are acquired for various Li concentrations. We found the open-circuit voltage decreases from ~2.28 to ~0.4 V for concentration from 0 to 1. Density of states show the electrical conductivity of the intercalated heterostructures can be significantly enhanced. The charge density differences are used to explain the variations of voltage and density of states. Last, ~0.43 eV diffusion energy barrier of Li implies the possible fast charge/discharge rate. Our study indicate MoS2/graphene heterostructure is promising material as Li ion battery anode.

Abstract Rechargeable batteries with superior electronic conductivity, large capacity, low diffusion barriers and moderate open circuit voltage have attracted amount attention. Due to abundant resources and safety, as well as the high voltage and energy density, potassium ion batteries (KIBs) could be an ideal alternative to next−generation of rechargeable batteries. Based on the density functional theory calculations, we find that the SnS2 monolayer expands greatly during the potassiumization, which limits its practical application. The construction of graphene/SnS2/graphene (G/SnS2/G) heterojunction effectively prevents SnS2 sheet from deformation, and enhances the electronic conductivity. Moreover, the G/SnS2/G has not only a high theoretical special capacity of 680 mAh/g, but an ultra−low K diffusion barrier (0.08 eV) and an average open circuit voltage (0.22 V). Our results predict that the G/SnS2/G heterostructure could be used as a promising anode material for KIBs.
