In　this　work,　instead　of　coupling　with　carbon-based　materials,　the　obtained　MoS　2　hollow　spheres　constructed　of　many　curved　nanosheets　have　been　successfully　fabricated　via　one-pot　hydrothermal　process.　Meanwhile,　inheriting　the　advantages　of　hollow　structure　and　combining　the　merits　of　ether-based　electrolyte　with　the　optimized　voltage　range,　the　obtained　MoS　2　electrode　can　demonstrate　excellent　electrochemical　performance　which　deliver　a　large　capacity,　superior　rate　(391.4　mA　h　g　−1　at　0.1　A　g　−1　and　347.3　mA　h　g　−1　at　0.5　A　g　−1　)　and　long　cycling　performance　(334.6　mA　h　g　−1　at　2　A　g　−1　after　1200　cycles)　when　employed　as　anode　material　for　sodium　ion　battery.　©　2019　Elsevier　Inc.
