Detailed structural and electrochemical characterization shows that incorporation of a small amount of MoS2 in PANI/CNT composite tends to eliminate agglomeration problem of CNT. The PANI/CNT/MoS2 ternary composite reaches a specific capacitance of 350 F/g at the current density 1 A/g corresponding to a 5% MoS2 content. This ternary composite shows good cycling stability even at a higher energy density of 10 A/g. Further, PANI/CNT/MoS2 composite electrode shows higher energy density (7.77 Wh/kg) and power density (2140 W/kg) as compared to PANI/CNT composite without MoS2. %B Materials Science and Engineering B: Solid-State Materials for Advanced Technology %V 23 %P 24-34 %8 SEP %G eng %9 Journal Article %3 Foreign %4 2.331 %R 10.1016/j.mseb.2017.05.001
