Nanostructured V5S8/graphite hybrid (V5S8/C) has been synthesized by a facile method combined solid state sulfuration with liquid exfoliation. The SEM and TEM results reveal that the V5S8/C hybrid is consisted of ultrathin V5S8nanosheet and graphite flake. Due to efficient exfoliation of V5S8sheet and effective incorporation of graphite flake, excellent electrochemical property of V5S8/C hybrid is demonstrated for lithium ion batteries. Surprisingly, V5S8/C hybrid delivers a high specific capacity of 1112 mAh g−1at 0.1 A g−1; even up to 1.0 A g−1, a high capacity of 846 mAh g−1is achieved after 700 cycles. Moreover,in situXRD analysis indicates that the high capacity of V5S8/C is derived from the combined Li+intercalation and conversion reactions. While the excellent cycle performance and superior rate capability are attributed to the reduced stacking of the V5S8layers and overcoating of conductive graphite material, which can relax the strain and lower the barrier for Li+insertion and extraction.
