Site‐Selectively Engineered MoS 2 /ReS 2 Heterostructures for High‐Performance Supercapacitors

ABSTRACT Layered MoS 2 holds great potential for supercapacitors; however, its intrinsically low electrical conductivity, sluggish electrochemical kinetics, and susceptibility to Mo dissolution severely hamper its electrochemical performance. Here, we propose a selective‐doping‐coupled heterostructure engineering strategy, in which atomic Fe preferentially incorporates into the MoS 2 domain, while the local structure of the ReS 2 component remains largely preserved, forming an Fe‐doped MoS 2 /ReS 2 (Fe‐MRS) heterostructure. Theoretical and experimental results reveal the formation of a built‐in electric field at the Fe‐MRS interface, driving electron transfer from ReS 2 to Fe‐doped MoS 2 , reconfiguring the Mo‐S electronic structure, while simultaneously strengthening Mo─S bonds and suppressing Mo dissolution. Moreover, Fe incorporation is energetically favored at octahedrally coordinated Mo sites within the MoS 2 domain, modulating the local electronic environment of the MoS 2 domain and thereby facilitating coupled electron/ion transport. Consequently, the Fe‐MRS electrode delivers high specific capacitance and excellent cycling stability with a capacitance retention of 97.0% over 5000 cycles. Moreover, asymmetric supercapacitors assembled with the Fe‐MRS anode achieve a high energy density of 55.2 Wh kg −1 at 1000 W kg −1 , maintaining good structural and mechanical robustness. This work offers clear guidance for leveraging selective doping to engineer heterostructures with enhanced electron‐ion coupling for advanced electrochemical energy storage systems.

Abstract

ABSTRACT Layered MoS 2 holds great potential for supercapacitors; however, its intrinsically low electrical conductivity, sluggish electrochemical kinetics, and susceptibility to Mo dissolution severely hamper its electrochemical performance. Here, we propose a selective‐doping‐coupled heterostructure engineering strategy, in which atomic Fe preferentially incorporates into the MoS 2 domain, while the local structure of the ReS 2 component remains largely preserved, forming an Fe‐doped MoS 2 /ReS 2 (Fe‐MRS) heterostructure. Theoretical and experimental results reveal the formation of a built‐in electric field at the Fe‐MRS interface, driving electron transfer from ReS 2 to Fe‐doped MoS 2 , reconfiguring the Mo‐S electronic structure, while simultaneously strengthening Mo─S bonds and suppressing Mo dissolution. Moreover, Fe incorporation is energetically favored at octahedrally coordinated Mo sites within the MoS 2 domain, modulating the local electronic environment of the MoS 2 domain and thereby facilitating coupled electron/ion transport. Consequently, the Fe‐MRS electrode delivers high specific capacitance and excellent cycling stability with a capacitance retention of 97.0% over 5000 cycles. Moreover, asymmetric supercapacitors assembled with the Fe‐MRS anode achieve a high energy density of 55.2 Wh kg −1 at 1000 W kg −1 , maintaining good structural and mechanical robustness. This work offers clear guidance for leveraging selective doping to engineer heterostructures with enhanced electron‐ion coupling for advanced electrochemical energy storage systems.
