Published in: Journal of Nanoparticle Research | Issue 11/2022

Abstract

To investigate the correlation between electrochemical performance and physicochemical properties, three types of 1D WO₃ nanostructures were fabricated by hydrothermal method using K₂SO₄, Na₂SO₄, and (NH₄)₂SO₄ as capping agents. Hexagonal phase was obtained with the assistant of Na₂SO₄ and (NH₄)₂SO₄, while monoclinic phase was developed using K₂SO₄ as agent. WO₃ nanostructures prepared by (NH₄)₂SO₄ and Na₂SO₄ exhibited superior specific capacitance (400 F/g and 388 F/g) relative to WO₃ prepared by K₂SO₄ (259 F/g), suggesting hexagonal phase is more suitable for energy storage. The nanostructures prepared using Na₂SO₄ exhibited inferior rate performance compared with those obtained by (NH₄)₂SO₄ due to low specific surface area and high crystallinity. The electrochemical performance demonstrated nanostructures prepared by (NH₄)₂SO₄ was surface-controlled whereas those using Na₂SO₄ and K₂SO₄ were battery-type material. These findings raise the prospects of developing tungsten oxide for energy storage.
