The application relates to a one-
step method for preparing
metal sulfide ultrathin nanosheets and application, which comprises the following steps: step one: uniformly mixing a
metal salt, a salt template agent and
thiourea in
ethanol to obtain a precursor mixed liquid; step two: performing heating and
drying on the precursor mixed liquid to obtain a precursor
powder; step three: performing heat treatment on the dried precursor
powder; and step four: soaking the heat-treated precursor
powder in deionized water, and then performing cleaning and
drying to obtain a
metal powder, namely the metal
sulfide ultrathin
nanosheet. The method for preparing the metal
sulfide ultrathin
nanosheet provided by the application does not need to additionally introduce a
sulfur source, is simple and easy to operate, has low cost, and the obtained metal sulfide two-dimensional ultrathin
nanosheet has uniform morphology, can provide a larger specific surface area, abundant
energy storage sites and a shorter
diffusion distance, and has great application prospects in the field of
alkali metal ion batteries-
potassium ion batteries.
