Copper sulfides are broadly explored as the possible cathode materials for rechargeable magnesium batteries on account of their high theoretical capacity 560 mAh g-1. However, CuS cathodes usually suffer from serious decay caused by structure collapse during repeated magnesiation/demagnesiation process. Herein, we present a cuprous self-doping strategy to synthesize mesoporous nanotubes with robust structural stability and regulate electrochemical storage behavior. Electrochemical results...
