Abstract

Supercapacitors are now thought to be the best storage devices; however electrochemical functioning is completely reliant 

on the composition of the electrode. This study describes the creation of CuS, ZnS and the hydrothermal creation of CuS@

ZnS nanocomposite as electrode material for supercapacitors. The nanocomposite demonstrates well defined morphology, 

clear crystal structure along with greater surface area via scanning electron microscope, X-ray diffraction and BrunauerEmmett-Teller.

Additionally, evaluation of the electrochemical effectiveness of produced materials was done with varying 

electrochemical techniques. The pure exhibit specific capacitance (Cs) of (435 F g−1

), while CuS@ZnS nanocomposite 

manifested a greater Cs is 785 F g−1

 at 1 A g−1

. According to the overall performance investigation, enhanced morphology

and superior electrochemical characteristics of CuS@ZnS nanocomposite make it a better supercapacitor electrode. 

This study has not only identified an efficient supercapacitor electrode material but also highlighted the importance of 

composite materials fabricated via easy and affordable approaches for energy storing processes.
