Complimentary effects of annealing temperature on optimal tuning of functionalized carbon-V₂O₅ hybrid nanobelts for targeted dual applications in electrochromic and supercapacitor devices.

ABSTRACT: Herein, carbon nanosphere-decorated vanadium pentoxide (C@V₂O₅) hybrid nanobelts were grown via a single step hydrothermal route with improved electronic conductivity as compared to that of pristine oxide. This hybrid nanomaterial exhibits different complimentary ranges of optimum post-growth annealing temperatures, which are suitable for dual applications either in electro-chromic smart windows or in supercapacitors. C@V₂O₅ nanobelts annealed at 350 °C appear to favor electro-chromic applications. They exhibit maximum dynamic optical transmission modulation as they switch from yellow to dark green, fast switching response, and high visible transmittance. In contrast, C@V₂O₅nanobelts annealed at 250 °C have been found
