Morphology-controlled 2H MoS2 nanostructures as efficient electrodes for energy storage devices
摘要
In the present study, molybdenum disulfide (MoS₂) nanostructures were synthesized and systematically optimized to enhance their electrochemical energy storage performance. A hydrothermal synthesis route was employed using sodium molybdate dihydrate and thiourea as precursor materials, with the reaction carried out at 200 °C. Structural characterization using Raman spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction verified that the 2H-phase MoS2 was formed. Scanning electron microscopy with field emission demonstrated that variations in the precursor molar ratio significantly influence the morphology, thickness, and linear porosity of the resulting MoS₂ nanostructures. Optimization of the precursor composition led to a markedly improved electrochemical performance, delivering a high specific capacitance of 550 F g⁻1 at a current density of 1 A g⁻1. These findings demonstrate that MoS₂ electrodes prepared via this optimized hydrothermal approach exhibit strong potential for advanced electrochemical energy storage applications.
