Abstract
Rechargeable aluminum-ion batteries are considered promising candidates for the new generation of energy storage systems because of their high capacity, low cost, and high security. The most urgent challenge to be addressed for the practical application of aluminum-ion batteries is exploring cathode materials with simple fabrication processes and preeminent electrochemical performance. Herein, a flexible free-standing MoS2/carbon nanofibers composite has been successfully synthesized by electrospinning and annealing treatment and investigated as a cathode material for rechargeable aluminum-ion batteries, delivering an initial discharge capacity of 293.2 mA h g
