g-C3N4-integrated MnO2/MoS2 nanocomposite as a high-energy-density electrode for asymmetric supercapacitors
摘要
The g-C3N4-incorporated MnO2/MoS2 nanocomposite was successfully fabricated via a two-step hydrothermal approach. Structural and morphological analyses confirmed the uniform dispersion of g-C3N4 within the MnO2/MoS2 matrix, forming a porous interconnected framework that facilitates ion transport. Electrochemical analysis indicates improved charge transfer behaviour, suggesting enhanced electron transport within the composite. Electrochemical investigation in 1 M KOH shows that the MnO2/MoS2@g-C3N4 electrode delivers a high specific capacitance of 1535 F g⁻1 at 1 A g⁻1, outperforming the pristine MnO2/MoS2 electrode. The assembled asymmetric supercapacitor (MnO2/MoS2@g-C3N4//AC) exhibits an energy density of 60.6 Wh kg⁻1 at a power density of 800 W kg⁻1, along with 94.3% capacitance retention over 10,000 cycles. These results demonstrate that the synergistic integration of MnO2, MoS2 and g-C3N4 enhances electrical conductivity, structural stability, and redox activity, making the composite a promising electrode material for advanced energy storage applications.
