Zinc ion batteries (ZIBs) have attracted extensive attention for their high safety and environmentally friendly nature, and considerable theoretical capacities. Due to its unique two-dimensional layered structure and high theoretical specific capacities, molybdenum disulfide (MoS₂) presents as a promising cathode material for ZIBs. Nevertheless, the low electrical conductivity and poor hydrophilicity of MoS₂ limits its wide application in ZIBs. In this work, MoS₂/Ti₃C₂T_x composites are effectively constructed using a one-step hydrothermal method, where two-dimensional MoS₂ nanosheets are vertically grown on monodisperse Ti₃C₂T_x MXene layers. Contributing to the high ionic conductivity and good hydrophilicity of Ti₃C₂T_x, MoS₂/Ti₃C₂T_x composites possess improved electrolyte-philic and conductive properties, leading to a reduced volume expansion effect of MoS₂ and accelerated Zn²⁺ reaction kinetics. As a result, MoS₂/Ti₃C₂T_x composites exhibit high voltage (1.6 V) and excellent discharge specific capacity of 277.8 mA h g⁻¹ at 0.1 A g⁻¹, as well as cycle stability as cathode materials for ZIBs. This work provides an effective strategy for developing cathode materials with high specific capacity and stable structure.
