Pour a little sugar on it : A simple glucose‐assisted hydrothermal method to directly grow MoS 2 nanosheets (NSs) on the CNT backbone is reported (see picture). Several features of these CNT@MoS 2 structures, including high MoS 2 content in the hybrid structure, large surface area provided by the nanosheet structure, and a conducting network of amorphous carbon and CNT backbone, lead to significantly improved lithium storage properties.
