Abstract

Abstract We report here large scale synthesis of ZnV₂O₆ nanostructures via facile, template free and cost effective method. For the first time hydrogen storage and supercapacitor properties of ZnV₂O₆ nanostructures were measured, which were found to be 1.32wt% and 380 F/g, respectively. Electrochemical supercapacitor device was fabricated using three electrode configuration and electrochemical measurements revealed ZnV₂O₆ nanostructures as a promising candidate for energy storage/conversion material. PL measurements on ZnV₂O₆ showed a broad emission centered at 392 nm. Our investigation has shown that ZnV₂O₆ nanostructures has the potential to be used as an energy storage material and in blue optoelectronic devices.
