Realization of high-purity 1T-MoS2 by hydrothermal synthesis through synergistic effect of nitric acid and ethanol for supercapacitors

doi:10.1016/j.jmst.2022.01.018

Abstract

Abstract:

Phase engineering of molybdenum disulfide (MoS₂) can achieve phase transformation from the semiconducting phase (2H-MoS₂) with poor conductivity to the metallic phase (1T-MoS₂) with superior electrochemical properties. Therefore, it is desirable to prepare high concentration 1T-MoS₂ by simple and facile methods. In this work, MoS₂ with high concentration of 1T phase is successfully prepared by one-pot hydrothermal synthesis through the synergistic effect of HNO₃ and CH₃CH₂OH, which is stable for more than half of a year. The as-synthesized MoS₂ shows high capacitance of 392 F g^-1 at 1 A g^-1 as used for supercapacitors electrodes, and displays excellent capacitance retention (83% after 10,000 cycles). Asymmetric supercapacitors (ASCs) devices assembled by the as-synthesized MoS₂ and MnO₂ on carbon cloths, exhibit high energy and power densities (0.194 mWh cm^-2 and 13.466 mW cm^-2). These results shed a light to realize 1T phase MoS₂ through the synergistic effect in hydrothermal processing.
