Abstract

In this study, pristine Fe2(MoO4)3 and its composite with g-C3N4 were synthesized via a hydrothermal approach. The resultant crystal structure was verified through X-ray diffraction, while energy dispersive spectroscopy and field emission scanning electron microscopy were utilized to determine elemental composition and sample morphology, respectively. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy further affirmed the successful preparation of the target materials. Both pure and composite samples underwent photo-electrochemical evaluation, revealing that Fe2(MoO4)3 combined with 2 g of g-C3N4 exhibited a remarkable specific capacitance of 1157.16 F g–1 and retained 99.70% of its capacitance after 2500 cycles, demonstrating exceptional electrochemical stability.
