Engineering MoS2 nanosheets on spindle-like α-Fe2O3 as high-performance core–shell pseudocapacitive anodes for fiber-shaped aqueous lithium-ion capacitors by Man, Ping, Zhang, Qichong, Zhou, Z., Chen, Mengxiao, Yang, Jiao, Wang, Zhe, Wang, Zhixun, He, B., Li, Q., Gong, W., Lu, W., Yao, Y., Wei, Lei

“…Further density functional theory calculations reveal that the MoS2@α-Fe2O3 nano-heterostructure possesses better electrical conductivity and stronger adsorption energy of Li+ than those of the individual MoS2 and α-Fe2O3. By paring with the self-standing LiCoO2/CNTF battery-type cathode, a prototype quasi-solid-state FALIC with a maximum operating voltage of 2.0 V is constructed, achieving impressive specific capacitance (253.1 mF cm−2) and admirable energy density (39.6 mWh cm−3). …”
