Nano structured metal carbides has recently received accelerated interest as materials for enhanced electrochemical energy storage due to their appealing electrical conductivity, chemical, thermal and electrochemical stabilities1,2. This has been in view to develop the inexpensive and durable capacitors and batteries to meet out the power shortage in domestic, industrial and defense sectors3. The early applications of metal carbides in development of tools, industrial catalysis, and protective coatings in fusion reactors 4-6 has now turned into fabrication of electrodes for batteries and fuel cells 7,8.
