Unlocking supercapacitive potential: hydrothermal growth of Ti-Doped WO3 nanoflakes on glassy carbon electrodes
摘要
The growing need for high-performance energy storage systems such as lithium-ion batteries and supercapacitors is driven by the increasing integration of renewable energy technologies. In this context, a Ti-doped WO₃-based supercapacitor with enhanced energy and power density is demonstrated using a modified glassy carbon electrode. The morphology, crystalline structure, and chemical states of WO₃ nanostructures were analysed using high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Additionally, the electrochemical performance of both pristine and Ti-doped WO₃ nanostructures was evaluated. The Ti-doped WO₃ supercapacitor operated efficiently at 0.8 V, delivering a high energy density of 182 Wh kg⁻¹ and a power density of 170 W kg⁻¹. Notably, the device retained 83% of its initial capacitance even after 1100 charge–discharge cycles, demonstrating excellent long-term stability.
