The as synthesized micro/nanorod samples of WSe2 were characterized using various characterization techniques such as SEM, TEM, Raman spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, UV-visible and PL spectroscopy. The as synthesized samples were also tested for their applicability to use as cathode materials for supercapacitor applications. The WSe2 samples prepared by the microwave and hydrothermal methods (with use of tungstic acid as precursor) show noteworthy performance towards supercapacitor application. Our work opens a new avenue to use these simple methods to prepare various morphologies of inorganic nanomaterials and utilize them for various energy and nanoelectronics applications.</p>1 aChakravarty, Disha1 aLate, Dattatray, J.  uhttps://library.ncl.res.in/content/microwave-and-hydrothermal-syntheses-wse2-micronanorods-and-their-application-0
