Abstract

Herein we report an innovative and reliable synthesis route to form layered V2O3–Al2O3 nanocomposite, where two separate reactions can be made to occur in a chain that leads to nanocomposite formation. The Al2O3 is helps in tackling the stability of V2O3 and ion transfer issues that usually metal oxides encounter. The formation of layered structures and lattice strain-induced V2O3–Al2O3 nanocomposite plays a major role in enhancing electrochemical performances. Also, the cyclic stability shows an significant increase with 84% capacitive retention even after 2500 cycles. The prepared layered V2O3–Al2O3 nanocomposite showcases exceptional specific capacitance values even at high scan rates (304 Fg−1 at 100 mV), and fast charge capacity, providing it with an edge over other materials to find applications in high-power utilities.
