  • Chapter
  • First Online:
MoS2

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Nanoscale Science and Technology ((LNNST,volume 21))

Abstract

A series of environmental problems have emerged owing to the excess consumption of fossil fuels. Development of clean alternative energy has turned into an urgent issue facing to all the nations. Nanostructured MoS2, with particular chemical and physical properties, has been studied extensively and intensively over the past years. A comprehensive overview of the progress achieved within the application of MoS2 in energy storage and conversion will be given, which is composed of lithium ion batteries, Mg ion batteries, dye-sensitized solar cells and photocatalytic hydrogen evolution.
