We　have　developed　a　controllable　solvothermal　method　to　grow　intrinsically　conductive　MoS2　nanosheet　arrays　in　a　metastable　1T　phase　on　carbon　fiber　cloth　(CFC)　as　binder-free,　high-activity　Li-ion　battery　(LIB)　anodes.　By　introducing　surface　hydroxyl　groups　on　the　CFC　and　tuning　the　DMF　content　in　the　mixed　solvent,　MoS2　nanosheet　arrays　were　perpendicularly　grown　to　the　surface　of　the　carbon　fibers　with　a　high　coverage.　Electrochemical　measurements　reveal　that　the　1T　phase　nanosheet　arrays　have　excellent　Li-ion　storage　performances,　including　high　specific　capacity,　high　rate　capability　and　good　cycling　stability,　outperforming　2H　phase　arrays.　Because　of　the　metallic　1T　phase　and　the　highly　oriented　array　architecture,　after　subtracting　the　total　capacity　of　CFC,　the　1T　arrays　also　deliver　a　high　reversible　specific　capacity　of　1789　mA　h　g(-1)　at　0.1　A　g(-1)　and　a　retained　capacity　of　853　mA　h　g(-1)　after　140　cycles　at　1　A　g(-1).
