摘要

To meet the growing need for better supercapacitor materials for a sustainable future, we created MnCo2O4.5/MoS2 nanocomposites using easy hydrothermal and solution mixing methods. Pristine MnCo2O4.5 exhibits uniform hexagonal platelet-like structures that are dispersed on thin MoS2 nanosheets, which facilitate short-ion diffusion pathways. MnCo2O4.5/MoS2 electrodes exhibit superior supercapacitive performances that possess a high specific capacitance of 672 F/g (0.25 A/g). After 5000 charge and discharge cycles at a current density of 5 A/g, the MnCo2O4.5/MoS2 nanocomposites showed a higher capacity retention of 81.6%. The positive synergistic effect and two-dimensional sheet-on-sheet nanocomposite structure of MnCo2O4.5/MoS2 resulted in improved supercapacitance properties compared to toMnCo2O4.5 nanoparticles. MoS2 nanosheets have several important functions: they provide surfaces for the spinel nanoparticles, help increase capacitance, and act as current collectors.
