研究目的
The synthesis of tungsten oxide/reduced graphene oxide (WO3-rGO) nanocomposite using pulsed laser ablation in liquids (PLAL) for photocatalytic water decontamination and energy storage applications.
研究成果
The WO3-rGO nanocomposite synthesized by PLAL method showed enhanced photocatalytic activity for the degradation of MB dye under visible light and improved performance as an electrode material for supercapacitors, attributed to better visible light absorption, reduced charge recombination, and high electrical conductivity and porosity of rGO.
研究不足
The study does not discuss the scalability of the PLAL method for large-scale production or the long-term stability of the WO3-rGO nanocomposite under operational conditions.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The synthesis of WO3-rGO nanocomposite was carried out using pulsed laser ablation in liquids (PLAL) method, which involves the reduction of graphene oxide and anchoring of nanostructured WO3 on reduced graphene oxide simultaneously.

Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
4. Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow: The mixture was irradiated for 30 min by the pulsed laser beam. The photocatalytic performance was evaluated by degrading methylene blue (MB) dye in water under visible light radiation. Supercapacitor devices were fabricated using spray coating technique and characterized by cyclic voltammetry (CV), galvanostatic charge-discharge (GCD), and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS).
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The extent of degradation was estimated using the intensity of the absorption spectrum recorded around 664 nm. Specific capacitances were calculated using the equation Cs = 2 × I × Δt/(w × ΔV).
