Galvanostatic cycling stability was tested at an intermediate rate of 0.5 A/g (Fig. ). A capacity drop in the initial 15 cycles can be observed, before both samples stabilize at around 105 mAh/g. This capacity remains relatively stable, reaching around 100 mAh/g after 200 cycles. We hypothesize that the initial capacity drop can be related to the ongoing phase transformation from semiconducting 2H to metallically conducting 1T phase of MoS2 during initial lithiation cycles that has been described before. Hence a route to improve cycling stability could be utilizing fully 1T-transformed MoS2.
