Popis: BiPO4 nanomaterial was synthesized using EDTA (ethylene diamine tetra acetic acid) as the surfactant via a simple microwave method. The structure and morphology of BiPO4 were systematically characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) studies. The obtained BiPO4 nanoparticles were, on average, 150–300 nm. The electrochemical results showed that the specific capacitance of BiPO4 obtained using the microwave route was up to 104 Fg−1 at a current density of 1 Ag−1 with a large potential window of 1.7 V. The material showed excellent cycling stability (92% capacitance retention) after 500 cycles at a current density of 1 Ag−1.
