Suppression of Electrochemically Driven Phase Transitions in Nanostructured MoS Pseudocapacitors Probed Using Operando X-ray Diffraction.

Pseudocapacitors with nondiffusion-limited charge storage mechanisms allow for fast kinetics that exceed conventional battery materials. It has been demonstrated that nanostructuring conventional battery materials can induce pseudocapacitive behavior. In our previous study, we found that assemblies of metallic 1T MoS nanocrystals show faster charge storage compared to the bulk material.
