Abstract
The development of efficient and innovative energy storage devices is a necessity of the hour. Emerging nanomaterials possessing tungsten are believed to have unique physicochemical properties and their application could be extended over a wide spectrum as nanocomposite electrodes for effective high voltage energy storage applications. In the present work, a one-step hydrothermal process has been employed to prepare Tungsten (W) doped spinel oxide MnWxCo2–2xO4 (MWCO) nanostructures, where x varies from 0.01 to 0.05. The spectroscopic characterization studies proved spherical subunits embedded onto nanosheets formed by W doped bimetallic oxide with a crystalline phase. On employing the synthesized material in asymmetric supercapacitor application, it was inferred that W doping had a notable effect on the electrochemical performance. The optimized doping ratio (x=0.03) revealed an appreciable specific capacitance of 91 F g−1 at the current of 0.5 A g−1, with a retention in the capacitance of more than 80 % even after 10000 GCD cycles. Remarkable specific energy (3.17 Wh kg−1) and specific power (98 W kg−1) were also noted. Hence, the material synthesized in this study by our facile method is thought to be highly suitable as an electrode for high-performance energy storage applications.
