Popis: Tungsten oxide (WO3) has been considered as an fascinating candidate for supercapacitors (SCs) material because of its desirable physico-chemical properties and electrochemical behaviors. Nevertheless, it is still a significant challenge to enhance its electrochemical properties and stability. Herein, we report an electroreduction strategy to fabricate the macroporous defective tungsten oxide nanostructure (ER-WO3) as a negative electrode material with outstanding electrochemical behavior and remarkable cycling durability in 5 M LiCl aqueous electrolyte, which attributes to the introduction of oxygen deficiencies. The ER-WO3 electrode exhibits a large areal capacitance of 244.7 mF cm−2 and an ultrahigh gravimetric specific capacitance of 266.6 F g−1 at scan rate of 50 mV s−1. More importantly, the ER-WO3 product also delivers an ultralong cyclic stability with 97.4% capacitance retention after 5000 cycles. Such these optimized properties of the ER-WO3 nanostructure electrode will promote its applications in the field of science and technology.
