We demonstrate a facile method to synthesize crystalline mono-layered/few-layered MoS2 thin films at the liquid-liquid interface which can be suitably transferred to the substrates. The films are characterized by XRD for their crystal structure and by SEM and TEM for the morphology. MoS2 nanosheet-graphene nanosheet (MoS2-GNS) hybrid films have been developed by the application of layer-by-layer (LbL) techniques. Cyclic voltammetry and other electrochemical characterization techniques reveal that the hybrid film electrode shows a specific capacitance of 282 F g(-1) at a scan rate of 20 mV s(-1). The as-obtained hybrid electrode is robust and exhibits much improved cycle life (&amp;gt;1000), retaining over 93% of its initial capacitance as revealed by galvanostatic charge/discharge studies. The confirmation of better performance as a supercapacitor of the composite was studied by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. These results indicate that the MoS2-GNS hybrid is a promising candidate for the electrode material in supercapacitor applications.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">47</style></issue><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Foreign&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;3.849&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Patil, Sagar</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Patil, Virendra</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sathaye, Shivaram</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Patil, Kashinath</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Facile room temperature methods for growing ultra thin films of graphene nanosheets, nanoparticulate tin oxide and preliminary assessment of graphene-tin oxide stacked layered composite structure for supercapacitor application</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">RSC Advances</style></secondary-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2014</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">DEC</style></date></pub-dates></dates><number><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">8</style></number><publisher><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ROYAL SOC CHEMISTRY</style></publisher><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">THOMAS GRAHAM HOUSE, SCIENCE PARK, MILTON RD, CAMBRIDGE CB4 0WF, CAMBS, ENGLAND</style></pub-location><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4094-4104</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;We report a novel, facile, single step process for growing highly uniform few layer graphene nanosheet (FLGNS) thin films over a micrometer scale, formed at the liquid-air interface. The process is further extended to form monolayer graphene nanosheets (GNS). The films are characterized by Raman spectroscopy, Atomic force microscopy (AFM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The results indicate that very few chemical and/or physical defects are introduced during formation of films. Further, an innovative single step method to form tin oxide (SnO2) films at the liquid-air interface is presented. A special feature of the method is that entire process is completed at room temperature. The film can be suitably transferred to the desired substrates by Blodgett technique. Characterization by various techniques such as XPS, TEM and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) shows that the films are made up of uniform spherical, crystalline SnO2 particles with the size in the range of 3-5 nm. Layer-by-layer (LbL) techniques can be exploited to stack graphene and SnO2 films alternately, in a desired sequence, forming a stacked composite structure. The composite structure is subjected to characterization by XPS, FE-SEM, TEM and EDS. The results show that the structure consists of a stack of predetermined thickness consisting of alternate layers of both the components. Such a structure is subjected to cyclic voltammetry (CV) studies. The results suggest LbL grown SnO2-GNS stacked composites exhibit better electrochemical performance in terms of specific capacitance and cycling ability which are primary requirements for the supercapacitor application. The coating techniques of few layer graphene nanosheets, SnO2 film and their stacked composite film are simple and inexpensive. A suitable explanation of the formation of both GNS and SnO2 films is discussed. The proposed methods extend the scope for production of high quality and defect free graphene nanosheets (GNS) and other components for forming LbL stacking of composite films.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">8</style></issue><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3.98</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Jadhav, Aarti</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Patil, Sagar</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Patil, Kashinath Rangu</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sathaye, Shivaram Dattatray</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rode, Chandrashekhar Vasant</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Composite thin film of simultaneously formed carbon and SnO2 QDs for supercapacitance application</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">New Journal of Chemistry</style></secondary-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2018</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">MAR</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">42</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%"> 8823-8830</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Composite material with uniform size and structure is a critical asset that decides its properties like charge transfer, thermal, photoluminescence, mechanical, etc. and consequently the applications. Here for the first time, we report the concept of flame/combustion at liquid-liquid interface to synthesize in situ, thin film formation of composite consisting of two or more quantum dots. Synthesis of thin films of a composite containing C and SnO2 QDs having particle sizes below 3 nm was successfully done. As compared to a single quantum dots system, the formed composite showed significantly improved specific capacitance due to the synergistic effect arising from strong interaction between C and SnO2 QDs. This was confirmed by XPS, UV visible spectroscopy and photoluminescence spectra. Moreover, it was confirmed that even after 1000 charge/discharge cycles, the interaction between C and Sn remained unaltered; indicating significant stability of capacitance. Some of the advantages of this method include one step, eco-friendly process at ambient conditions. The generality of the method was established by synthesizing C-ZnO and C-TiO2 composite thin film. This new approach can be extended to form many other valuable composite thin films for various applications.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">11</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Article</style></work-type><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3.269</style></custom4></record></records></xml>
