1. A method for incorporating nitrogen-doped molybdenum carbide nanosheets into a nanocomposite electrode, comprising:
forming the nitrogen-doped molybdenum carbide nanosheets by:
reacting an ammonium molybdate with an amine substituted heterocycle to form a reaction product; and
thermally treating the reaction product under nitrogen;
mixing at least one binding compound, at least one conductive additive, and at least one electrolyte to form a slurry;
mixing the nitrogen-doped molybdenum carbide nanosheets with the slurry to form a synthesis mixture;
coating the synthesis mixture onto a surface of an electrode substrate; and
drying the nanocomposite electrode at a temperature less than 100° C. to form the nanocomposite electrode;
wherein the nanocomposite electrode comprises:
the electrode substrate;
the nitrogen-doped molybdenum carbide nanosheets;
the at least one electrolyte;
the at least one binding compound; and
the at least one conductive additive;
wherein the electrolyte at least partially penetrates pores of the nitrogen-doped molybdenum carbide nanosheets; and
wherein the nitrogen-doped molybdenum carbide nanosheets are an outer layer of the nanocomposite electrode.
