Aligned carbon nanotube/molybdenum disulfide hybrids for effective fibrous supercapacitors and lithium ion batteries

Abstract

An aligned carbon nanotube/MoS₂ nanosheet hybrid fiber was synthesized to display combined remarkable mechanical, electronic and electrochemical properties. It was used to fabricate flexible fibrous supercapacitors and lithium ion batteries with a high specific capacitance of 135 F cm⁻³ and a high specific capacity of 1298 mA h g⁻¹, respectively.
