ABSTRACT = {The increase in energy crisis and environmental concerns are now considering as major 
hurdle in way to sustainability and clean energy solution. Metal sulfides have been 
investigated for the fabrication of energy conversion ad storage devices to overcome the 
effect of energy demand. In this concern, a microemulsion mediated hydrothermal method 
was employed for the successful synthesis of pure Co<sub>4</sub>S<sub>3</sub> and Ce<sub>2</sub>S<sub>3</sub>-Co<sub>4</sub>S<sub>3</sub> binary 
nanocomposite materials. This study was investigated for Supercapacitor application using 
cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The scanning electron 
microscope analysis of composite material showed compact smooth morphology with 
strong interparticle interactions. The cyclic voltammetry was assessed for the determination 
of specific capacitance and energy density of material. The Ce<sub>2</sub>S<sub>3</sub>-Co<sub>4</sub>S<sub>3</sub> binary 
nanocomposite demonstrated excellent specific capacitance and energy density value of 952 
F/g and 33.06 Wh/kg, respectively. The higher capacitance and energy density value of 
Ce<sub>2</sub>S<sub>3</sub>-Co<sub>4</sub>S<sub>3</sub> binary nanocomposite is due to its strong synergistic interaction between both 
metals. Similarly, the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy demonstrated the effective 
kinetic behavior of Ce<sub>2</sub>S<sub>3</sub>-Co<sub>4</sub>S<sub>3</sub> binary nanocomposite. This recommends composite 
material a strong candidate in class of metal sulfide for greener sustainable solutions. },
