Abstract

The present work demonstrated simple, cost-effective, and efficient synthetic approach for producing two-dimensional (2D) nanosheets (NSs) of oxygen-deficient monoclinic γ-tungsten oxide (γ-WO3), which exhibit desirable properties used for super capacitor application. The hydrothermal method was employed at a temperature of 120 °C for 12 h to synthesize γ-WO3. Structural and optical properties of the γ-WO3 NSs were analyzed by using various techniques such as X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, diffused reflectance spectroscopy, and photoluminescence analysis. Morphological characterization was performed using field emission-scanning electron microscopy and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. Furthermore, the electrochemical properties of the γ-WO3 NSs were evaluated for supercapacitor applications. The as-synthesized γ-WO3 NSs electrode exhibited a remarkable specific capacitance of 386 F g−1 at a low current density of 5 mA cm−2. Also, the γ-WO3 NSs electrode displayed excellent stability, emphasizing its potential for energy storage device applications (ESDA).
