  • Description: We synthesize mesoporous WO.sub.3/carbon composites with PS-PVP-PEO polymeric template. The molecularly dissolved polymer in THF self-assembles in positively charged spherical micelles upon the addition of HCl. The negatively charged tungsten source (WO.sub.4.sup.2-) binds strongly with positively charged polymeric micelles. Glucose, WO.sub.4.sup.2-, and micelles are assembled as a mesostructure during solvent evaporation. The carbonization of composites leads to mesoporous WO.sub.3/carbon nanocomposites. A polymeric micelle having unique blocks for porogen (polystyrene), reaction site (polyvinyl pyridine), and stabilizer (ethylene oxide) makes the system exceptional to synthesize mesoporous nanocomposites in a one-pot method. The nanocomposites were characterized by dynamic light scattering, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, Fourier transforms infrared spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and Raman spectroscopy. The electrochemical studies reveal that the composites deliver 381 F.g.sup.-1 capacitance with 96% retention in 1 M H.sub.2SO.sub.4.
