Salkar, Akshay V. published the artcileNH- and CH-Substituted Ureas as Self-Assembly Directing Motifs for Facile Synthesis and Electrocapacitive Applications of Advanced WO3-x One-Dimensional Nanorods, HPLC of Formula: 598-50-5, the main research area is tungsten oxide nanorod capacitor urea self assembly oxygen vacancy.
Designing a solid state crystal architecture at nanoscale, using a soft chem. approach, is the key step toward their scalable synthesis for sustainable application in electrochem. charge storage devices. We investigate the application of NH- and CH-substituted ureas, namely, carbohydrazide, semicarbazide, N-methylurea, and tetramethylurea as design elements/motifs in the tailored synthesis of WO3-x nanostructures via direct calcination of tungstic acid-substituted urea hybrid gels. The SEM, HRTEM, SAED, XRD, XPS, and TG-DTA studies reveal that NH-substitution in urea induces a profound growth of WO3-x one-dimensional (1D) nanorods, preferentially growing along the (002) plane with enhancement in the percentage of oxygen vacancies. On the contrary, with the increase in CH-substitution in urea, the tendency to form 1D nanorods via self- assembly process decreases, possibly due to an increase in the steric effect of the Me groups. We further demonstrate the corresponding effect of morphol. and chem. changes in WO3-x nanostructure on their improved electrified interfacial processes via H+ intercalation using cyclic voltammetry, galvanostatic charge-discharge, electrochem. impedance spectroscopy tests, and chronoamperometric studies. Our findings reveal that the enhancement in WO3-x nanorod growth, W5+/W6+ redox surface states, and abundance of (002) surface plane due to NH-substitution in urea play a crucial role in facilitating the diffusion process of H+/e- in and out of the WO3-x matrix. An area specific capacitance of 132 mF cm-2 at the c.d. of 1 mA cm-2 with excellent capacitance retention is reported. Moreover, significant improvements in the charge-discharge times were observed, the highest being the one for WO3-x nanorods obtained using carbohydrazide, demonstrating its potential for possible application in designing 1D nanomaterials for energy storage systems.
