Abstract

Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) like Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) are confessed as an effective energy storage materials due to their 2D structure analogues to graphene. Robust 3D architectures of graphene oxide-polypyrrole (GO-PPy) and molybdenum disulfide-polypyrrole (MoS2-PPy) were fabricated by facile, one pot chronoamperometry method to achieve scalable, conductive additive free and binder free supercapacitor electrodes. The electrodeposited GO-PPy and MoS2-PPy electrodes exhibit the specific capacitance of 271 F g−1 and 130 F g−1 respectively at a current density of 1 A g−1. The introduction of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) in PPy matrix offered high capacitance, whereas graphene analogue MoS2 improved the structural stability. Pronounced cycling stability (>2000 cycles) and note-worthy capacitive retentions were also displayed by these composites. MoS2-PPy and GO-PPy retain 82 and 64% of its initial capacitance respectively. These findings are backed up by the correlation of structure and electrochemical performance of GO-PPy and MoS2-PPy.
