Highly improved supercapacitance properties of MnFe2O4 nanoparticles by MoS2 nanosheets

Abstract Manganese ferrite (MnFe2O4) nanoparticles were synthesized via a hydrothermal method and combined with exfoliated MoS2 nanosheets, and the nanocomposite was studied as a supercapacitor. X-ray diffractometry and Raman spectroscopy confirmed the crystalline structures and structural character...
