Abstract

This work investigates the impact of carbon nanospheres on the electrochemical performance of C/WS2/WO3 nanocomposites for electrochemical supercapacitors. The nanocomposites have been synthesized and characterized by various techniques like XRD, UV–vis spectroscopy, SEM, TEM and FTIR. The electrochemical properties of the nanocomposites have been analysed in order to study the charge transport, reaction kinetics, impedimetric properties and specific capacitance by using cyclic voltammetry (CV) and potentio electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (PEIS). The capacitive performance of the samples has been investigated by the obtained specific capacitance values and Nyquist plots. The specific capacitance of the samples has been found in a range of 0.8–2.8F/g at 20 mV/s. The sample with the least amount of carbon showed maximum specific capacitance. The electrochemical insights, combined with comprehensive material characterizations, provide valuable knowledge for tailoring the capacitive performance of C/WS2/WO3 nanocomposites through controlled carbon nanospheres and thus the suitability of materials for electrochemical capacitors.
