Abstract
This study explores the utility of MoS2, ZnS, and MoS2/ZnS nanocomposites as electrodes for supercapacitor applications. Binder-free electrodes were fabricated, and the MoS2/ZnS composite exhibited the highest specific capacitance of 1628.3 Fg−1 at a current density of 1 Ag−1, highlighting its excellent electrochemical performance. These findings suggest that optimizing the composition and structure of MoS2/ZnS nanocomposites could enhance the efficiency and performance of supercapacitor technologies and open new avenues for advancements in energy storage technology.
