Unveiling the Effect of the Structure of Carbon Material on the Charge Storage Mechanism in MoS₂-Based Supercapacitors.

ABSTRACT: MoS₂ is a 2D material that has been widely used in supercapacitor applications because of its layered structure that provides a large surface area and allows for high electric double-layer charge storage. To enhance the cycling stability and capacitance of MoS₂, it is usually mixed with carbon materials. However, the dependence of the charge storage mechanism on the structure of the carbon material is still unclear in literature. Herein, the effect of the structure of the carbon material on the charge storage mechanism in 2H flower-shaped MoS₂ is investigated in detail. Specifically, 2H MoS₂ was mixed with either 8 nm-diameter carbon nanotubes (CNTs) or graphene nanoflakes (GNFs) in different weight ratios. Also, a composite of MoS₂, C
