The nanocomposites of hexagonal boron nitride, molybdenum disulfide, and graphene (h-BN/G/MoS 2 ) are promising energy storage materials. The originality of the current work is the first-ever synthesis of 2D-layered ternary nanocomposites of boron nitrate, graphene, and molybdenum disulfide (h-BN/G/MoS 2 ) using ball milling and the sonication method and the investigation of their applicability for supercapacitor applications. The morphological investigation confirms the well-dispersed composite material production, and the ternary composite appears to be made of h-BN and MoS 2 wrapping graphene. The electrochemical characterization of the prepared samples is evaluated by cyclic voltammetry and galvanostatic charge/discharge tests. With a high specific capacitance of 392 F g -1 at a current density of 1 A g -1 and an outstanding cycling stability with around 96.4% capacitance retention after 10,000 cycles, the ideal 5% BN_G@MoS 2 _90@10 composite demonstrates exceptional capabilities. Furthermore, a symmetric supercapacitor (5% BN_G@MoS 2 _90@10 composite) exhibits a 94.1% capacitance retention rate even after 10,000 cycles, an energy density of 16.4 W h kg -1 , and a power density of 501 W kg -1 . The findings show that the preparation procedure is safe for the environment, manageable, and suitable for mass production, which is crucial for advancing the electrode materials used in supercapacitors.
