Tubular-like Nanocomposites with Embedded Cu9S5–MoSx Crystalline–Amorphous Heterostructure in N-Doped Carbon as Li-Ion Batteries Anode toward Ultralong Cycling Stability

Transition metal sulfides (TMSs) show the potential to be competitive candidates as next-generation anode materials for Li-ion batteries (LIBs) due to their high theoretical specific capacity. However, sluggish ionic/electronic transportation and huge volume change upon lithiation/delithiation remain major challenges in developing practical TMS anodes. We rationally combine structural design and interface engineering to fabricate a tubular-like nanocomposite with embedded crystalline Cu
