Hydrogen Production and Li-Ion Battery Performance with MoS₂-SiNWs-SWNTs@ZnONPs Nanocomposites.

ABSTRACT: This study explores the hydrogen generation potential via water-splitting reactions under UV-vis radiation by using a synergistic assembly of ZnO nanoparticles integrated with MoS₂, single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs), and crystalline silicon nanowires (SiNWs) to create the MoS₂-SiNWs-SWNTs@ZnONPs nanocomposites. A comparative analysis of MoS₂ synthesized through chemical and physical exfoliation methods revealed that the chemically exfoliated MoS₂ exhibited superior performance, thereby being selected for all subsequent measurements. The nanostructured materials demonstrated exceptional surface characteristics, with specific surface areas exceeding 300 m² g^-1. Notably, the hydrogen production rate achieved by a composite
