Facile Synthesis of Highly Ordered Transition Metal-Embedded PANI-eMoS2 Nanosheet for High-Performance Hybrid Supercapacitor Applications

Conducting polymer-2D layered transition metal dichalcogenide nanocomposites are still a prominent novel material for energy storage applications. Among the diverse material combinations investigated, the integration of transition metal-modified polyaniline (PANI) with molybdenum disulphide (MoS2) nanocomposites stands out for their exceptional properties. Herein we demonstrate the facile synthesis of transition metal-embedded PANI-exfoliated MoS2 nanosheets as an electrode material for supercapacitor applications by employing the rapid mixing chemical oxidative polymerization method. The electrochemical performance of the composite was examined using cyclic voltammetry, which revealed an exceptional specific capacitance value of 1328 F/g. Additionally, the well-thought-out component combination aids in the exfoliation of MoS2, tuning the morphology and crystallinity of the resulting nanocomposite to display its optimum performance for energy-related applications.
