Abstract

Heterostructure composites have gained prominence for potential energy storage applications. Here, we synthesized a nanorod-like core–shell heterostructure supercapacitor electrode material, denoted as Sb2S3@MoS2/C, using a facile hydrothermal method. Impressively, this Sb2S3/MoS2/C heterostructure demonstrated superior electrochemical performance compared to pure Sb2S3 nanorods, exhibiting a high capacitance of 226 F g−1 at 1 A g−1. Remarkably, this capacity stability remained at 83.5% even after 10,000 cycles at current densities up to 10 A g−1. This enhanced performance arises from the core–shell structure, allowing increased active sites. The outer shell effectively prevents the bulk deformation of Sb2S3, while the inner core hinders the collapse of lamellar MoS2 during charge–discharge process. As a result, this core–shell configuration enables a more rapid ion transport and maintains a stable structure, thereby contributing to the enhanced electrochemical performance.
