When employed as a host material for electrochemical lithium intercalation, each material shows fast pseudocapacitive charge storage behavior with slightly different electrochemical response showing strong correlation to the available adsorption area and particle size of the crystalline domains explained by 3D bode plot analysis. Each hydrothermally prepared sample shows higher maximum anodic capacity of ca. 200 mAh g -1 at a rate of 20 mA g -1 in comparison to commercially available MoS2 with 152 mAh g -1 . MoS2 TAA and MoS2 LC demonstrate significantly improved rate capability, with higher charge retention at 10 A g -1 (related to ca.
