Advances in 2D Molybdenum Disulfide‐Based Functional Materials for Supercapacitor Applications

Abstract Energy storage has become the most crucial topic of research in the 21 st century owing to the growing demand for energy for various modern‐day requirements. Supercapacitors (SCs) are energy storage devices that can deliver power for a wide range of electronic gadgets, electric/hybrid vehicles and sophisticated machines used in space and the military. Electrode materials play a vital role in determining the electrochemical performance and stability of these energy devices. It is therefore essential to design efficient and long‐lasting materials that are solid, lightweight and flexible to suit various applications. The excellent chemical and physical properties of MoS 2 have made it one of the most widely considered two‐dimensional nanomaterials in the past few years. Through this review, we mainly highlight the synthesis, properties, and electrochemical performance of MoS 2 and its composites‐based functional materials. The potential uses of MoS 2 in various fields imply that this material still offers many possibilities for exploration and development.
