Abstract
Transition metal carbides (TMCs) have garnered significant attention in various energy applications owing to their outstanding conductive and electrochemical properties. Despite these advantages, challenges persist in terms of non-toxicity and efficient fabrication methods. In this study, a Mo3C2/laser-induced graphene (LIG) heterostructure was synthesized via one-step CO2 laser induced conversion process. The specific area capacitance of the Mo3C2/LIG hybrid electrode reached 23.5 mF cm−2, which is 2.5 times higher than that of pure Mo3C2 and 9 times greater than pure LIG electrodes. Moreover, the hybrid electrode exhibited robust cycling stability, maintaining 98.4 % of its initial capacitance after 10,000 charge–discharge cycles. Theoretical simulation also revealed superior hydrogen adsorption and high electrical conductivity of the Mo3C2/LIG hybrid electrode. This work presents a promising approach for developing advanced molybdenum carbide-based composites and offers an alternative strategy for enhancing the electrochemical performance of capacitive electrodes.
