Abstract
This study investigates the influence of different solvents, including ethylene glycol (EG), dimethylformamide (DMF) and water, on the structure and electrochemical properties of MoS2 synthesized via a single-step pot synthesis technique. These solvents facilitate the formation of MoS2 nanostructures with diverse dimensions. The synthesized material was analyzed using XRD, FTIR, Raman spectroscopy, FE-SEM and BET analysis. The hierarchical microflower structure of MoS2, with exfoliated edge-enriched nanosheets, exhibited the highest specific capacitance of 428 F g−1 at 1 mV s−1 and 280 F g−1 at 1 A g−1 when synthesized using water as a solvent, surpassing the results achieved with other solvents. The MoS2 nanostructure-based symmetric supercapacitor achieved an energy density of 7.5 Wh kg−1, a power density of 1980 W kg−1 and retained ∼95 % capacitance after 1000 cycles at 2 A g−1, highlighting its potential for future applications with exceptional stability and durability.
期刊介绍:
Vacuum is an international rapid publications journal with a focus on short communication. All papers are peer-reviewed, with the review process for short communication geared towards very fast turnaround times. The journal also published full research papers, thematic issues and selected papers from leading conferences.
A report in Vacuum should represent a major advance in an area that involves a controlled environment at pressures of one atmosphere or below.
The scope of the journal includes:
1. Vacuum; original developments in vacuum pumping and instrumentation, vacuum measurement, vacuum gas dynamics, gas-surface interactions, surface treatment for UHV applications and low outgassing, vacuum melting, sintering, and vacuum metrology. Technology and solutions for large-scale facilities (e.g., particle accelerators and fusion devices). New instrumentation ( e.g., detectors and electron microscopes).
2. Plasma science; advances in PVD, CVD, plasma-assisted CVD, ion sources, deposition processes and analysis.
3. Surface science; surface engineering, surface chemistry, surface analysis, crystal growth, ion-surface interactions and etching, nanometer-scale processing, surface modification.
4. Materials science; novel functional or structural materials. Metals, ceramics, and polymers. Experiments, simulations, and modelling for understanding structure-property relationships. Thin films and coatings. Nanostructures and ion implantation.
