摘要

This research work reports the synthesis of Mn and N codoped WO3 nanostructures by coprecipitation method. These nanomaterials were characterized by X-ray diffraction, Ultraviolent-visible spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy to evaluate various properties. Bandgap of WO3 was tuned from 2.53 to 1.87 eV by addition of Mn (2% by wt.) and N (5% by wt.) whereas the XRD study validated the stability of WO3 as it retained its orthorhombic structure after the addition of codopants but decreased the average crystallite size. WO3, Mn2%-N1%-WO3 and Mn2%-N5%-WO3 were analyzed by CV, GCD and EIS analysis to verify the optimizations in electrochemical properties of pure WO3 by codoping. Mn2%-N5%-WO3 showed better energy storage applications, as evident by GCD analysis as the Mn2%-N5%-WO3 showed Csp of 896.88 F/g, 323.9 Wh/kg Energy density and 1799.9 W/kg Power density. During photocatalytic degradation process for 175 min, WO3 and Mn2%-N5%-WO3 showed 38.41 and 93.11% degradation for MB; 23.3 and 81.9% degradation for Leflox respectively. Therefore, Mn-N-WO3 is a potential candidate for the removal of harmful pollutants as well as electrode materials for supercapacitors.
