Abstract
This research investigates the synthesis and characterization of molybdenum disulfide (MoS₂) and chlorine-doped graphene oxide (Cl-GO) composites as advanced materials for supercapacitors. Binder-free electrodes were prepared by an electrochemical method at room temperature, marking the pioneering use of 2H-MoS₂@Cl-GO materials in energy storage applications. The synthesis employed cyclic voltammetry (CV) for MoS₂ and chronoamperometry (CA) for Cl-GO. Comprehensive characterization, including Raman spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD), elucidated the chemical structures of the materials. Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) combined with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) revealed detailed surface morphology and elemental composition. Electrochemical performance evaluation by cyclic voltammetry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and cyclic charge/discharge tests indicated promising capacitive behavior. The 2H-MoS₂@Cl-GO electrode exhibited a specific capacitance of 915.6 mF.cm−2, outperforming the Cl-GO electrode (414.4 mF.cm−2) under similar conditions (0.25 mA.cm−2 in 1.0 M H₂SO₄ electrolyte). Notably, the electrode retained over 90.2 % of its capacity after 5000 charge-discharge cycles, indicating excellent cycling stability. This study highlights the potential of 2H-MoS₂@Cl-GO composites as efficient and durable electrode materials for high performance supercapacitors, providing valuable insights for their practical application in energy storage technologies.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Electroanalytical Chemistry is the foremost international journal devoted to the interdisciplinary subject of electrochemistry in all its aspects, theoretical as well as applied.
Electrochemistry is a wide ranging area that is in a state of continuous evolution. Rather than compiling a long list of topics covered by the Journal, the editors would like to draw particular attention to the key issues of novelty, topicality and quality. Papers should present new and interesting electrochemical science in a way that is accessible to the reader. The presentation and discussion should be at a level that is consistent with the international status of the Journal. Reports describing the application of well-established techniques to problems that are essentially technical will not be accepted. Similarly, papers that report observations but fail to provide adequate interpretation will be rejected by the Editors. Papers dealing with technical electrochemistry should be submitted to other specialist journals unless the authors can show that their work provides substantially new insights into electrochemical processes.
