	abstract = {<p>Use of domestic microwave oven is first time employed for chemical deposition of nanocrystalline hexagonal WO3 (h-WO3) thin films. Low cost precursors like sodium tungstate, hydrochloric acid, oxalic acid and potassium sulfate signifies cost effectiveness of this thin film fabrication route. Scanning electron microscopy images reveal formation of petal like nanodisks. A number of analytical techniques were used to characterize the WO3 petal like nanodisks, including X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, FT-IR spectroscopy, Raman scattering spectroscopy, UV-visible spectrophotometry and cyclic voltammetry (CV). The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopic studies revealed 2.89 O/W atomic ratio. The electrical transport studies on WO3 thin films show semiconducting behavior with n-type semiconductivity. The value of determined coloration efficiency is 57.90 cm(2)/C. The mechanism of Li+ intercalation and deinercalation in h-WO3 matrix is proposed for enhanced electrochromism. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

	abstract = {In the present work, we have designed and synthesized nanocomposite of IrO2@Mn3O4 with two-step simple and scalable chemical routes. In this route, nanofibers of IrO2 were synthesized by a single nozzle electrospinning technique onto which Mn3O4 was overlaid by a simple SILAR route. The ratio of Mn3O4 and IrO2 was varied by varying the SILAR cycles onto electrospun IrO2 thin film as 20, 40, 60, and 80 cycles. The structural, morphological, and energy storage performance of IrO2@Mn3O4 composite elec-trodes were investigated. A 2 V kinetic potential with a rectangular-shaped cyclic voltammogram was observed for the IrO2@Mn3O4 electrodes. Moreover, the specific capacitance of 1027 F/g at 1 mA/cm(2) was observed for the optimized electrode which is superior as compared with other electrodes. The opti-mized electrode showed better current and voltage than the individual compounds which might be due to the synergic effect of IrO2 and Mn3O4. Finally, a PVA-LiClO4 gel electrolyte-based solid-state IrO2@ Mn3O4//IrO2@Mn3O4 symmetric device was fabricated. The symmetric device possessed an energy density of 81 Wh/kg with a power delivery of 714 W/kg which was capable to light up a green LED. Hence, the 2D transition metal oxides laminated on 1D metal oxides with high conductivity can be promising electrodes for future research. (C) 2021 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.},
