Integrating nanostructured MoS₂ with low-volume-change and high-rate-performance TiO₂ backbone to construct high structure stability MoS₂-TiO₂ based composites has been turned out to be an effective strategy. However, the long-life cycling performance at high current density of all reported MoS₂-TiO₂ based composites anodes is still suffered from their relatively low electron and ion transport kinetics. In this paper, we first demonstrate the successful synergistic regulations of both electron and ion transport kinetics benefits by controllable graphene incorporation and defect engineering in MoS₂-TiO₂ based anodes, leading to the dramatically enhanced LIBs performance. In this optimized structure with robust structure stability, few-layer MoS₂ nanosheets are tightly anchored onto the surface of graphene/ultra-thin TiO₂ nanosheets (G/UT-TiO₂) backbone with chemical bonds. The graphene incorporation effectively improves the overall conductivity, while the defected structure of MoS₂ shell can significantly facilitate Li-ions transport kinetics. As a result, the as-prepared optimized anode exhibits excellent capability (648 mAh g⁻¹) at high current density (1 A g⁻¹) after long-life (400) cycles, accompanied by outstanding rate performance. This work can open up an avenue for the rational design of various anode materials for high performance LIBs by synergistically structural, electronic and ionic modulations.
