118 mAh/g at a rate of 5 A/g corresponds to 63 % of the initial capacity (5 th cycle at 20 mA/g) compared to 95 mAh/g for MoS2-HDA-1 (58 %). The results underline that not only nanoconfinement geometry, i.e., an expanded interlayer spacing is beneficial for increased kinetics and storage capacity, but also the nanoconfinement chemical composition, i.e., the number of pillars determines electrochemical performance. The decreased number of pillars in MoS2-HDA-0.5 not only reduces weight of (electrochemically) inactive component, but it is hypothesized that it is also beneficial for ion transport in the nanoconfined interlayer space. Galvanostatic cycling stability over 200 cycles at 0.5 A/g is shown in Fig. . While nano-MoS2
