Microwave synthesized α-Fe2O3/MoS2/rGO composites as high-performance supercapacitor

Cost-efficient microwave synthesisized alpha-Fe2O3/MoS2/rGO (Fe(2)MG) composite has been fabricated with promising energy storage characteristics. SEM and TEM analyses corroborate that the spherical alpha-Fe2O3 nanoparticles are wrapped over MoS2 and rGO sheets. The Fe(2)MG composite electrode exhibits high specific capacitance of 551 F.g(-1) at 1 A.g(-1) and improved cyclic stability with only 2.1% of capacitance loss after 2000 charge-discharge cycles at a high current density (30 mA.s(-1)). The Fe(2)MG composite is a suitable choice as an electrode material for supercapacitor and other electrochemical applications. (C) 2021 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
