description TiO<sub>2</sub> nanotube layers (TNTs) decorated with Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>/MoS<sub>2</sub>/Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> are investigated as a negative electrode for 3D Li-ion microbatteries. Homogenous nanosheets decoration of MoS<sub>2</sub>, sandwiched between Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> coatings within self-supporting TNTs was carried out using atomic layer deposition (ALD) process. The structure, morphology, and electrochemical performance of the Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>/MoS<sub>2</sub>/Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>-decorated TNTs were studied using scanning transmission electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and chronopotentiometry. Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>/MoS<sub>2</sub>/Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>-decorated TNTs deliver an areal capacity almost three times higher than that obtained for MoS<sub>2</sub>-decorated TNTs and as-prepared TNTs after 100 cycles at 1C. Moreover, stable and high discharge capacity (414 µAh cm<sup>−2</sup>) has been obtained after 200 cycles even at very fast kinetics (3C).
