Abstract

A transition metal dichalcogenide, molybdenum disulphide (MoS2) possesses unique properties, including a configurable bandgap, and a broad spectrum of potential applications in catalysis, electronics, and energy storage. It proved to be an effective electrode material for supercapacitors due to its high specific capacitance. Here electrochemical performances of MoS2 and its composites with different preparative methods and conditions have been summarized. The main advantages and disadvantages of MoS2-based electrodes are also covered in the review.
