In this work, we report a facile approach to mass produce carbon-coated MoS2 (C-MoS2) nanorods with high uniformity. The C-MoS2 nanorods are prepared using MoO3 nanorods as the precursor via a sulfidation and subsequent chemical vapor deposition (CVD) of an amorphous carbon layer. When evaluated as...
