Synthesis of anodized WO3 nanocatalysts using Melia azedarach leaves extract for energetic applications (Dataset)

This study reports the bio-mediated synthesis of tungsten trioxide nanostructures from aqueous extracts of Meliaazedarach (L.) dry leaves. The synthesis was carried out by electrochemical anodization of tungsten foils in thepresence of different volume percentages of leaves extracts. These nanostructures were afterwards characterized by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), impedance measurements and linear sweep voltammetryin the presence of simulated solar light. Finally, these nanoelectrodes were used as(photo)electrocatalysts in the photoelectrochemical water splitting process to obtain green hydrogen and asanodes in Li-ion rechargeable batteries.本研究报道了利用苦楝（Melia azedarach L.）干燥叶片的水提液介导生物合成三氧化钨（tungsten trioxide）纳米结构的方法。该合成过程通过在不同体积百分比的叶片提取液存在下，对钨箔进行电化学阳极氧化实现。随后，研究人员通过X射线衍射（X-Ray Diffraction, XRD）、阻抗测试以及模拟太阳光条件下的线性扫描伏安法对所得纳米结构进行了表征。最后，该纳米电极分别被用作光电化学分解水制备绿氢过程中的（光）电催化剂，以及锂离子可充电电池的阳极。
