Orthorhombic structured bismuth molybdate (Bi2MoO6) is obtained by one pot microwave combustion method. The characteristic performance of Bi2MoO6 nanocatalyst are described by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) furnished with Energy - dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) and Fourier change infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. The average crystallite size for Bi2MoO6 estimated from XRD is about 28.9 nm. The surface morphology from SEM pictures displays nanoplates. The FTIR is utilized to recognize the structural coordination and the presence of functional group. The electrochemical studies are taken to readily comprehend the electrochemical performance of the modified active electrode with notable specific capacitance value are found 234.9 Fg-1 at 5 mVs-1 and cyclic retention is stable up to 900 cycles (98.7 %). The as-synthesized dynamic material acts as a novel electrode material for supercapacitor.
