Abstract

The current energy economy based on fossil fuels is under serious threat due to the

continuous increase in petrol demand and the depletion of non-renewable energy

resources. Another worrying aspect of the current fossil fuel energy economy is the global

climate changes resulting from carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. There is an urgent need

to reconsider how energy will be used for the safety of future generations.

Electrochemical batteries are the most suitable technique for storing energy efficiently.

Batteries are portable devices that have the ability to store electrochemical energy as

electrical energy with high conversion efficiency without gas emission.

In the current study, we adopted a polymer-assisted ball milling technique to efficiently

prepare MoS2 nanosheets with small diameters. Polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) and

polyethylene glycol (PEG) polymers were used. The effects of polymer type and the mass

ratio of MoS2 to polymer type on the crystal structure, bonding properties, and

microstructure of the samples were widely studied. The PEG-added MoS2 electrode with

MoS2:PEG 1:1 mass ratio exhibited good electrochemical performance.
