MoS₂ nanoflower decorated bio-derived chitosan nanocomposites for sustainable energy storage: Structural, optical and electrochemical studies.

ABSTRACT: Bio-derived chitosan-molybdenum di sulfide (Cs-MoS₂) nanocomposites are prepared by a simple and economical aqueous casting method with varying concentrations of MoS₂. The structural, surface morphological, optical, and electrochemical properties of the nanocomposites were studied. FTIR analysis reveals the strong interaction between Cs and MoS₂. FESEM micrograph showed an increment of the surface roughness due to the incorporation of MoS₂ layers into Cs. The surface wettability of the nanocomposites was found to be decreased from 73° to 33° due to the incorporation of MoS₂ into the chitosan. UV-vis spectroscopy study demonstrates a reduction of optical bandgap from 4.29 to 3.44 eV as the nanofiller, MoS_2, introduces localiz
