Abstract

The non-stoichiometric tungsten oxide nanostructure, WO_2.9 (W₂₅O₇₃, dark blue color) is an efficient electrocatalyst for hydrogen evolution in acidic water, which has shown promise as an alternative to platinum (Nature Communications 2015, 6, 8064(1-7)). Generally speaking, the oxygen vacancies or oxygen deficiencies can affect the electronic band structure and enhance the conductivity. Blue tungsten oxide-based materials, WO_2.8 (W₅O₁₄) are used as promising anode materials for lithium-ion batteries (Adv. Funct. Mater. 2018, 28, 1707500).
