Highly improved supercapacitance properties of MnFe₂O₄ nanoparticles by MoS₂ nanosheets.

ABSTRACT: Manganese ferrite (MnFe₂O₄) nanoparticles were synthesized via a hydrothermal method and combined with exfoliated MoS₂ nanosheets, and the nanocomposite was studied as a supercapacitor. X-ray diffractometry and Raman spectroscopy confirmed the crystalline structures and structural characteristics of the nanocomposite. Transmission electron microscopy images showed the uniform size distribution of MnFe₂O₄ nanoparticles (~ 13 nm) on few-layer MoS₂ nanosheets. UV-visible absorption photospectrometry indicated a decrease in the bandgap of MnFe₂O₄ by MoS₂, resulting in a higher conductivity that is suitable for capacitance. Electrochemical tests showed that the incorporation of MoS₂ nan
