Abstract: This study reports the strategic development of MoS 2 /MXene nanocomposites as high-efficiency electrodes for capacitive deionization (CDI) applications. The MXene synthesized via selective etching of MAX, provides a conductive, layered framework that facilitates rapid ion transport and expansive adsorption interfaces. To optimize electrochemical activity and structural integrity, layered MoS 2 was integrated into the MXene substrate through a high-pressure hydrothermal route. The influence of MoS 2 loading was systematically investigated by modulating the precursor molar ratios. Furthermore, nitrogen annealing at varying temperatures was employed to control the crystalline phase of MoS 2 , driving the transition from a metastable 1 T/2H mixed phase to a stable 2H phase, thereby enhancing both charge storage capacity and material durability. Experimental results demonstrate that optimized thermal treatment significantly improved the specific capacitance from 13.42 to 20.06 F/g, while the desalination efficiency increased from 4.63% to 10.86%. Notably, the composite electrode exhibited a robust salt adsorption capacity of 39.38 mg/g and maintained a high retention rate of 96.62% over 50 consecutive cycles. These findings highlight the potential of MoS 2 /MXene heterostructures as a superior material platform for next-generation, high-stability desalination technologies. • MoS 2 /MXene heterostructures synthesized by hydrothermal method. • MoS 2 phase transition from 1 T/2H to 2H after N 2 annealing at 850 °C. • High salt adsorption capacity (SAC) of 39.38 mg/g is achieved. • Excellent stability with 96.62% retention over 50 cycles.
