摘要

The structural and performance evolution of MS2 (M = Mo, W, V) materials under lithium insertion are investigated via first-principles calculations. Our study reveals a significant anisotropic expansion along the c-axis during lithium intercalation, while lithium substitution induces localized strain and charge redistribution. Mechanical property analysis shows reductions in elastic constants and Young’s modulus, with 2H-phase materials exhibiting superior resilience under the substitution. Electronically, lithium incorporation modulates the density of states near the Fermi level, enhancing the metallicity and conductivity in substituted 2H-WS2 and 1T-MoS2. These findings provide insights into the structural and electronic mechanisms governing the performance of MS2 materials as lithium-ion battery anode candidates, offering pathways for future material optimization and design.
