Abstract
In the present work, a MoO3/MoS2 nanocomposite (NC) based electrode has been fabricated and its cyclic stability, Coulombic efficiency, retention in non-redox (6 M NaOH) as well as redox-additive (6 M NaOH + 0.35 M [K4(Fe(CN)6)].3H2O) electrolyte (RAE) has been investigated in the three-electrode system. The XRD analysis of MoO3/MoS2 NC reveals that MoO3 and MoS2 are in orthorhombic phase and hexagonal phase respectively. SEM displays the sheet-like morphology of MoO3 as well as MoS2. BET analysis confirms the formation of the mesoporous nature of the fabricated NC electrode with an average pore diameter of 20.9 nm while XPS confirms the presence of O, S, and Mo in the fabricated NC electrode. The prepared NC electrode exhibits battery-like behavior with an ultrahigh specific capacity (Cs) of 3607.49C/g in the presence of RAE at a current density of 6 A/g. Further, the NC electrode could retain about 112.5 % of its initial Cs at an ultra-high current density of 100 A/g even after 4000 repeated cycles of operation which makes it a potential candidate for energy storage devices.
期刊介绍:
The journal provides an international medium for the publication of theoretical and experimental studies and reviews related to the electronic, electrochemical, ionic, magnetic, optical, and biosensing properties of solid state materials in bulk, thin film and particulate forms. Papers dealing with synthesis, processing, characterization, structure, physical properties and computational aspects of nano-crystalline, crystalline, amorphous and glassy forms of ceramics, semiconductors, layered insertion compounds, low-dimensional compounds and systems, fast-ion conductors, polymers and dielectrics are viewed as suitable for publication. Articles focused on nano-structured aspects of these advanced solid-state materials will also be considered suitable.
