Increasing demand for electronic devices has sparked quantum of research work on energy storage systems. In the present work, we report the facile synthesis of platelet-like Zirconium tungstate (ZrW 2 O 8 NPs) binary metal oxide via co-precipitation method. The ZrW 2 O 8 NPs was confirmed by several physicochemical techniques. Furthermore, FESEM images proved the platelet-like morphology of ZrW 2 O 8 NPs. The as-prepared ZrW 2 O 8 NPs was used as electrode material in the fabrication of supercapacitors. ZrW 2 O 8 NPs @ Ni foil shows the specific capacitance (C sp ) maximum of 508 F g À1 at 5 mV/s and showed 91.3% of cyclic stability after 4000 GCD cycles. As a result, ZrW 2 O 8 NPs was utilized as an anode electrode material to construct an asymmetric device, ZrW 2 O 8 NPs jj Activated carbon (AC). The as-fabricated device showed the energy density of 9.65 Wh kg À1 related to the power density of 299.48 W kg À1 . The effective supercapacitive behavior might be due to the unique morphological features, occurrence of multiple redox sites, and enhanced electrical conductivity of ZrW 2 O 8 NPs. Thus, all these findings account for the applicability of ZrW 2 O 8 NPs as electrode material in highperformance supercapacitors.
