A light-fostered supercapacitor performance of multi-layered ReS₂ grown on conducting substrates.

ABSTRACT: The light-fostered supercapacitor performance introduces a new realm in the field of smart energy storage applications. Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) with direct band gap are intriguing candidates for developing a light-induced supercapacitor that can enhance energy storage when shined with light. Many TMDCs show a transition from a direct to indirect band gap as the layer number increases, while ReS₂ possesses a direct band gap in both bulk and monolayer forms. The growth of such multi-layered 2D materials with high surface area on conducting substrates makes them suitable for smart energy storage applications with the ability to tune their performance with light irradiation. In this report, we present the growth of vertically aligned multi-layered ReS₂ wi
