Hydrothermal synthesis of composite-based MoS2/Fe2O3 electrode as asymmetric supercapacitor performance
摘要
In this study, MoS₂ and Fe₂O₃ nano-petals and nanospheres and their composites in ratios (7:3), denoted by MF-1, and (1:1), as MF-2, are created using a two-step hydrothermal process. Improved specific capacitance of 335 F g⁻1 at 1 A g⁻1 and 93% of capacitance remaining following 8000 test cycles, the MoS2/Fe2O3 (7:3) electrode exhibits good reversibility and outstanding cycle stability in contrast to MoS₂/Fe₂O₃ (1:1), along with bare MoS₂ and Fe2O3. Power density of 599 W kg⁻1, MoS₂/Fe2O3//AC ASC exhibits improved energy density of 24.8 Wh kg⁻1; even at high-power density of 3000 W kg⁻1, a suitable energy density of 21.6 Wh kg⁻1 being maintained. MoS₂/ Fe2O3 shows an enhanced specific capacitance of 335 F g⁻1 at current density of 1 A g⁻1 because of unique surface properties and synergistic interaction among Mo⁺4 and Fe⁺3 ions. Results substantiate the MoS₂/Fe2O3 electrodes’ obvious potential for energy preservation and conversion uses and demonstrate improved supercapacitor behavior when made utilizing an inexpensive, straightforward, and scalable solution.
