Abstract
In this study, we investigated the impact of Platinum (Pt) nanocomposite incorporation on the electrochemical properties of Tungsten oxide (WO3) thin films. The binder free sputtered grown thin film electrode of Pt-WO3 nanocomposite shows modified structural and improved electrochemical characteristics. Pt incorporation improved electron transfer in WO3 matrix, and morphology (Nano-porous like) consequently enhance specific capacitance value and stability of electrode. The specific capacitance (Cs) of the Pt-WO3 nanocomposite electrode measured 559 Fg−1 at 0.02 A g−1, almost double the value obtained for the pure WO3 electrode (225 Fg−1), and demonstrate excellent cyclic stability over 5000 cycles. These findings suggest that Pt-WO₃ nanocomposites hold significant potential as electrode materials for advanced supercapacitor devices, offering both high energy storage capacity and excellent long-term stability.
期刊介绍:
