The development of high performance functional nanomaterials for the storage and conversion of energy is now a vital task for future energy demand. In this report, TiO2-SiO2-sulfur (Ti-Si-SUL) nanomaterial has been synthesized and explored for energy generation and storage applications. The surface morphology, crystallinity and elemental composition of the as-synthesized materials have been thoroughly analyzed by TEM, XPS and SEM techniques. Inspired by the fascinating morphology of the TiO2-SiO2-sulfur (Ti-Si-SUL) nanomaterial, the electrochemical performance towards hydrogen evolution and supercapacitor has been demonstrated. The Ti-Si-SUL nanomaterial shows enhanced gravimetric capacitance values (600Fg−1) with higher specific energy/power outputs and better cyclic performances (80% even after 5000 cycles). The dual performance of the Ti-Si-SUL demonstrates the promising application for hydrogen generation and supercapacitor application of interest.
