Popis: Transition metal sulfide-based electrode materials are promising candidates for energy storage applications owing to their richer redox-active sites and higher electrical conductivity than their oxide counterparts. Manganese-cobalt-sulfide (MCS) nanoflakes were synthesized on nickel foam in the presence of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) as a capping agent using a one-step hydrothermal method. The variation in the amount of PVP in the reaction solution had a prominent impact on the MCS electrode morphology. PVP altered the morphology of the MCS nanoflakes. Different shapes of interconnecting-nanoflake arrays were formed with different amounts of PVP. The MCS electrode prepared using 0.2 g of PVP (MCS-P2) showed the best efficiency with a specific capacity of 1312 C g
