WO3–x@Au@MnO2 core–shell nanowires on carbon fabric for high-performance flexible supercapacitors

Adv Mater. 2012 Feb 14;24(7):938-44. doi: 10.1002/adma.201104113.

Abstract

WO3–x@Au@MnO2 core–shell nanowires (NWs) are synthesized on a flexible carbon fabric and show outstanding electrochemical performance in supercapacitors such as high specific capacitance, good cyclic stability, high energy density, and high power density. These results suggest that the WO3–x@Au@MnO2 NWs have promising potential for use in high-performance flexible supercapacitors.
