Abstract

Electrochemical energy storage system has been a promising focus to tackle with the current energy crisis problem. Polyaniline (PANI) has been an attractive electrode material in energy storage devices, owning unique and excellent develo** prospects in the field of supercapacitors. In order to further improve its capacitive performance, composite materials of PANI blended with various carbon-based materials, metal oxides or metal sulfides are typically prepared. In this study, PANI-based ternary composite of PANI, molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) and graphite powder (Gr) was prepared electrochemically to afford the PANI/MoS2/Gr-modified electrode materials. Cyclic voltammetry (CV), galvanostatic charge and discharge (GCD) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) methods were used to characterize and investigate the ternary composite’s supercapacitive performance. A high specific capacitance of 381.9 F/g was achieved under 1 A/g current density. When the applied current densities were increased from 1 to 8 A/g, a high specific capacitance of 322.0 F/g was still maintained, which corresponded to a good capacitance retention rate of 84.3%, showing the ternary composite’s excellent rate performance. The research results illustrated the great potential of the PANI/MoS2/Gr ternary composite as a promising supercapacitor energy storage material.
