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.
