A novel rapid microwave synthesis of MoS₂ nanosheets for supercapacitor electrode

We report a novel rapid microwave synthesis of two-dimensional MoS₂. Morphological and structural characterizations were performed by XRD and SEM, which showed that the obtained MoS₂ was a sheet-like structure with good crystallization. The electrochemical performance illustrated that the MoS₂ electrode prepared with 0.0300 mol Na₂MoO₄ has a higher specific capacitance is 83.4 F g⁻¹ at 0.5 A g⁻¹, and favorable electrochemical durability up to 91.0 %, after 4000 cycles.
