Preparation Of A Polymer Nanocomposite Via The Polymerization Of Pyrrole : Biphenyldisulfonic Acid : Pyrrole As A Two-Monomer-Connected Precursor On Mos2 For Electrochemical Energy Storage

We prepared a poly(pyrrole : biphenyldisulfonic acid : pyrrole (Py:BPDSA:Py)) nanocomposite of molybdenum disulfide (MoS2), P(Py:BPDSA:Py)-MoS2, with high crystallinity. The composite is synthesized by oxidative polymerization of Py:BPDSA:Py as a two-monomer-connected precursor (TMCP) linked by ionic bonding on a molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) monolayer. The chemical, structural and morphological characterization of this composite is confirmed by Raman spectroscopy, FT-IR, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The crystal structure is analysed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and high-voltage electron microscopy (HVEM), which shows a face-centered cubic (FCC) crystal structure for the composite. Nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherms show an improved specific surface area (91.3 m(2) g(-1)). The electrochemical properties of the composite with a unique crystal structure and a large specific surface area are analysed through cyclic voltammetry (CV), which shows a specific capacitance of 681 F g(-1) demonstrating that the composite can be used as an efficient electrode active material for electrochemical energy storage systems.
