A mini review of recent progress in Mo-based electrode materials for supercapacitors

Supercapacitors, as the clean and efficient green energy storage device, can realize the coordinated development of human society and natural ecological environment. Electrode material is an important part of supercapacitors, which is a key factor to determine the performance. Mo-based materials as electrode materials of supercapacitors have been widely studied, due to their good crystal structure, large theoretical capacity, easily manufacture and low toxicity. Therefore, the research situation and progress of Mo-based materials as supercapacitors electrodes are summarized and analyzed, which are conducive to the rapid development. In this review, pure nanostructure Mo-based materials, vacancy and doped Mo-based materials, and the nanocomposite of Mo-based materials on the synthesis and electrochemical performance are summarized. In addition, the problems and research directions of Mo-based materials of supercapacitors are outlined. This review may provide some guidance for improving the performance of Mo-based electrode materials of supercapacitors, giving a prediction and guidance for assembly Mo-based materials for future electronic storage devices.
