Improved charge storage performance of a layered Mo(1.33)C MXene/MoS(2)/graphene nanocomposite

The construction of nanocomposite electrodes based on 2D materials is an efficient route for property enrichment and for exploitation of constituent 2D materials. Herein, a flexible Mo(1.33)C i-MXene/MoS(2)/graphene (MOMG) composite electrode is constructed, utilizing an environment-friendly method for high-quality graphene and MoS(2) synthesis. The presence of graphene and MoS(2) between MXene sheets limits the commonly observed restacking, increases the interlayer spacing, and facilitates the ionic and electronic conduction. The as-prepared MOMG electrode delivers a volumetric capacitance of 1600 F cm(−3) (450 F g(−1)) at the scan rate of 2 mV s(−1) and retains 96% of the initial capacitance after 15 000 charge/discharge cycles (10 A g(−1)). The current work demonstrates that the construction of nanocomposite electrodes is a promising route towards property enhancement for energy storage applications.
