This study reports on the synthesis and characterization of a novel electrode material for supercapacitor applications based on a clustered heterostructure of indium sulfide (In₂S₃) and single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs). The In₂S₃-SWCNT (INSC) sample was prepared using the facile successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR) method and demonstrated a higher specific capacitance (258 Fg⁻¹ at 1 Ag⁻¹) compared to the bare indium sulfide (In₂S₃) electrode. The enhanced electrochemical performance is attributed to the synergistic effect between the In₂S₃ and SWCNTs, which improves electron transportation, catalytic nature, and specific capacitance. Moreover, the cyclic stability of the INSC electrode was significantly improved, retaining 96.8% of the initial capacitance after 3000 cycles. The high voltage holding capacity and high cyclic efficiency of the fabricated INSC-based supercapacitor devices suggest their potential for next-generation energy storage devices. Additionally, the INSC electrode-based supercapacitor devices exhibit excellent flexibility and bendability, retaining similar performance even at a bending angle of 180°, making them suitable for flexible energy storage applications.
