2D Transition Metal Dichalcogenides for Lithium-ion Batteries
S.V. Prabhakar Vattikuti
Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) materials offer exciting prospective applications in energy storage particularly as electrode resources for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), which lately received enormous consideration owing to their unique 2D layered features appropriate for effective charge storage and conversion. However, several important and practical challenges are still need to be resolved for LIBs to become suitable for commercial use. This chapter presents a timely review, detailing the perspectives on the latest advancements and future directions in using TMDs for LIBs research. The chapter is divided into three parts: (i) TMDs materials as electrode; (ii) TMDs based hybrids; and (iii) viewpoint and perspectives.
