Popis: In this work, we report the preparation of WO 3 -reduced graphene oxide (rGO) composite powders by spray pyrolysis process using a stable graphene oxide colloidal solution with ammonium tungstate. The ultrafine WO 3 nanocrystals below 10 nm in size are dispersed within the rGO matrix. The bare WO 3 powders prepared from the aqueous spray solution of ammonium tungstate are spherical and do not aggregate. The bare WO 3 and WO 3 -rGO composite powders show monoclinic and cubic crystal structures, respectively. The initial discharge capacities of the bare WO 3 and WO 3 -rGO composite powders at a current density of 100 mA g −1 are 771 and 941 mA h g −1 , respectively, and their initial Coulombic efficiencies are 67 and 65%, respectively. The discharge capacities of the bare WO 3 and WO 3 -rGO composite powders at the 300 th cycle are 282 and 546 mA h g −1 , respectively.
