Recently, two-dimensional layered nanostructures, specially MoS2 (molybdenum disulfide) has come out as the most investigated electrode material for batteries and supercapacitors, possessing well preserved in-plane covalent bonding, leading to extraordinary mechanical elasticity within the layers as well as outstanding firmness along the c-axis. We have synthesized vertically aligned edge exposed molybdenum disulfide nanoflakes onto free standing carbon nanotubes
