Supercapacitors are considered one of the possible next-generation clean energy storage devices; however, their specific capacitance still needs improvement regarding electrode materials. Herein, we prepared three types of electrode materials, i.e., pure NiCoMg MOFs deposited on Ni-foam (abbreviated as P-NiCoMg), NiCoMg MOFs deposited on MoS₂-sputtered Ni-foam (signified as SN-NiCoMg), and MoS₂-sputtered NiCoMg MOFs deposited on Ni-foam (shortened as S-NiCoMg). SEM and XRD revealed a successful preparation of cactus-like microstructure and coexistence of MoS₂ and NiCoMg MOFs in the material of interest S-NiCoMg electrode. Interestingly, the S-NiCoMg electrode showed a specific capacitance of 2000 F/g, which is 1.8 and 1.4 times higher than the P-NiCoMg and SN-NiCoMg electrodes, respectively. This indicates the efficacy of enhancing specific capacitance electrode materials using …
