As an attractive family of anode material for lithium‐ion battery (LIB), transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) with high energy density has been emerging very fast. Among various TMDs, tungsten disulphide (WS2) with its intrinsically layered structure is a promising alternative anode candidate because of its high theoretical capacity. However, WS2 usually suffers from poor cycling stability due to its large volume change during lithiation and delithiation process. Herein, we have synthesized carbon free nanostructured plate like WS2 (NP‐WS2) by an easy one pot hydrothermal synthesis process. Without introducing any conducting carbonaceous materials, the P‐WS2 showing extraordinary lithium storage properties. At a C‐rate of C/8, the observed initial lithiation and delithiation capacities are 682.0 and 555.7 mAh g−1, respectively. During the cycling stability test at a rate of C/4, even after 200 cycles P‐ WS2 delivered high delithiation capacity of 380 mAh g−1. Even without incorporation of conducting carbonaceous materials, NP‐WS2 demonstrated extraordinary lithium storage performance which indicates its potential as an alternative high capacity anode material for lithium‐ion battery.
