One-Pot Synthesis of W₂C/WS₂ Hybrid Nanostructures for Improved Hydrogen Evolution Reactions and Supercapacitors.

ABSTRACT: Tungsten sulfide (WS₂) and tungsten carbide (W₂C) are materialized as the auspicious candidates for various electrochemical applications, owing to their plentiful active edge sites and better conductivity. In this work, the integration of W₂C and WS₂ was performed by using a simple chemical reaction to form W₂C/WS₂ hybrid as a proficient electrode for hydrogen evolution and supercapacitors. For the first time, a W₂C/WS₂ hybrid was engaged as a supercapacitor electrode and explored an incredible specific capacitance of ~1018 F g^-1 at 1 A g^-1 with the outstanding robustness. Furthermore, the constructed symmetric supercapacitor using W₂C/WS₂ possessed an energy
