Abstract Few-layers WS2 was obtained through unique chemical liquid exfoliation of commercial WS2. Results showed that after the exfoliation process, the thickness of WS2 reduced significantly. Moreover, the NiFe2O4 nanosheets/WS2 composite was successfully synthesized through a facile hydrothermal method at 180 °C, and then proven by the analyses of field emission scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The composite showed a high specific surface area of 86.89 m2·g−1 with an average pore size of 3.13 nm. Besides, in the three-electrode electrochemical test, this composite exhibited a high specific capacitance of 878.04 F·g−1 at a current density of 1 A·g−1, while in the two-electrode system, the energy density of the composite could reach 25.47 Wh·kg−1 at the power density of 70 W·kg−1 and maintained 13.42 Wh·kg−1 at the higher power density of 7000 W·kg−1. All the excellent electrochemical performances demonstrate that the NiFe2O4 nanosheets/WS2 composite is an excellent candidate for supercapacitor applications.
