摘要
Nanosized Zn-WO3 and ZnWO4 materials have been prepared by microwave irradiation method. The physico-chemical characterization of the prepared nanomaterials was carried out by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and high resolution-scanning electron microscopy (HR-SEM) techniques. The size and shape of the ZnWO4 material can be controlled by changing the temperature. The XRD analysis revealed the formation of monoclinic phase of the calcined nanopowder. The HR-SEM images showed the sphere and plate shape particles. The electrochemical behavior of the ZnWO4 modified electrodes was investigated using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), cyclic voltammetry (CV) and galvanostatic charge-discharge (GCD) techniques. The synthesized material shows the pseudocapacitance. The specific capacitance of 35.70 F/g was achieved for the Zn-WO3 nanopowder. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
