Özet:
In this study, tungsten oxide nanostructures, which are n-type semiconductors with a band gap between 2.6-2.8 eV, have been studied extensively. The hydrothermal method was used as the synthesis technique and the phases and morphologies were optimized in a stable and controllable manner. Firstly, stoichiometric tungsten oxide nanowires with certain ratios were synthesized, and then cobalt doping was made using this synthesis technique. Subsequently, sub-stoichiometric tungsten oxide nanowires, which have oxygen gaps and can show plasmonic properties due to the increased carrier density, were synthesized, and tungsten oxides with a flower-like hierarchical structure with oxygen gaps were synthesized and grouped according to possible application areas. Accordingly, how oxygen vacancies and hierarchical structures affect photocatalysis applications have been examined and it has been seen that substoichiometric tungsten oxide works faster until it reaches a certain saturation than stoichiometric tungsten oxide. According to this study, how the system can be manipulated by adding reducing pH to the system and hydrogen peroxide as an electron acceptor, respectively. It has been observed that it can be done. Hierarchical tunsten oxide has been found to be an ideal catalyst that can work quickly in photocatalysis studies due to its hierarchical structure, which has oxygen vacancies and can absorb light well. Additionally, tungsten oxide attracts attention as a material used in supercapacitor applications. Supercapacitors are long-lasting and fast-reacting electrochemical devices that can provide high power in energy storage and discharge processes. The use of tungsten oxide in supercapacitor applications can be summarized as follows: when nanoparticles with large surface area are used as electrode material, they increase the interaction with the electrochemical surface and can increase the energy storage capacity. It shows high electrochemical activity as an electrode material. This feature contributes to the high performance of the supercapacitor. Tungsten oxide has a structure suitable for electron and ion conduction. This allows the supercapacitor to have fast charge/discharge capabilities and low internal resistance. Tungsten oxide can show stable performance during electrochemical cycles. This feature ensures the long life of the supercapacitor. In supercapacitor applications, in addition to these features, the electrical conductivity of the material can be increased by increasing the number of electrons carried in the material due to its oxygen gap. Accordingly, we investigated the comparative electrochemical properties and cycling stability of stoichiometric and sub-stoichiometric nanowires. Thanks to its electrochromic properties, the latest application has observed electrochromic changes of oxygen vacancies and cobalt doping.
