Upon intercalation, the interlayer spacing of VS2 expands from 5.71 Angstrom to 14.01 Angstrom, followed by exfoliation and a restacking process facilitating expansion of the lattice in a direction perpendicular to the dichalcogenide layers. This change in interlayer separation is consistent with the existence of two phases of organic and inorganic species in the nanocomposites corresponding to the intercalation of PEDOT in the VS2 framework. The resulting nanocomposite is characterized by thermal analysis (TGA), X-ray diffraction, FTIR, SEM, TEM, and four-probe electrical conductivity measurements. The application potential of the nanocomposite as a cathode material for rechargeable lithium batteries is also demonstrated by the electrochemical intercalation of lithium into the PEDOT-VS2 nanocomposite, where a significant enhancement in the discharge capacity is observed (similar to130 mA h g(-1)) compared to that (80 mA h g(-1)) for pristine VS2.</p>1 aMurugan, Vadivel1 aQuintin, M.1 aDelville, M., H.1 aCampet, Guy1 aVijayamohanan, K.  uhttp://library.ncl.res.in/content/entrapment-poly34-ethylenedioxythiophene-between-vs2-layers-form-new-organic-inorganic-001772nas a2200265   4500008004100000022001400041245015000055210006900205260007300274300001200347490000800359520077200367653002101139653002201160653000901182653003601191653002201227100002101249700001601270700002101286700001601307700003001323700002201353856013101375       2006                        eng d  a0378-775300aExfoliation-induced nanoribbon formation of poly(3,4-ethylene dioxythiophene) PEDOT between MoS2 layers as cathode material for lithium batteries0 aExfoliationinduced nanoribbon formation of poly34ethylene dioxyt  aPO BOX 211, 1000 AE AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDSbELSEVIER SCIENCE BVcJUN  a615-6190 v1563 a<p>A new type of layered nanocomposite synthesized by delaminated MoS2 nanosheets and poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) are restacked to produce alternate polymer nanoribbons between layers Of MoS2 with an interlayer distance of similar to 1.38 nm. The unique properties of resulting nanocomposite are investigated by powder XRD, XPS, SEM, TEM, and four-probe conductivity measurements. The obtained nanocomposite can be used as a cathode material for a small power rechargeable lithium battery as demonstrated by the electrochemical insertion of lithium into the PEDOT/MoS2 nanocomposite. A significant enhancement in the discharge capacity (100 mAh g(-1)) is observed compared with that (40 mAh g(-1)) for MoS2.
