In this work, firstly, the impact of Cr-doping on the electrochemical activity of MoS2 has been discussed. Afterwards, the optimized Cr-doped MoS2 (CrMS-5) sample has been combined with CuCo2S4 (CCS) to further enhance its charge storage ability and cyclic stability. The CrMS-5/CCS composite delivers tremendous electrochemical activity as an electrode with a specific capacity of approximately 1324.08 C g?1 at 4 A g?1. The outstanding performance of the doped binary composite is on account of the synergism between doping and composite formation that results in increased conductivity and numerous redox active sites for charge storage. Furthermore, a symmetric supercapacitor device (SSC) has been fabricated using a CrMS-5/CCS electrode. It attains a high energy density of 46.63 Wh kg?1 corresponding to 1 kW kg?1 of power and exhibits remarkable cyclic stability of 81% for up to 5,000 cycles. The device illuminates a star-shaped LED panel of 12 red LEDs for 30 min. Thus, the above outcomes demonstrate the superiority of the doped MoS2-based composites for high-energy symmetric supercapacitors. � 2023 Elsevier Ltden-USBimetallic sulfidesCr-dopingMoS₂Symmetric SupercapacitorsArticlehttps://linkinghub.elsevier.com/retrieve/pii/S0016236123027874
