At a challenging current density of 10 A/g, the specific capacitance remained high at 85.4 F/g.

Improved adsorption of rhodamine B (RhB) and methyl orange (MO) is observed, which is dependent on the KOH/precursor ratio.

The influence of contact time, adsorbent dose, adsorbate concentration and temperature on the adsorption are analyzed. The kinetics and equilibrium studies are also carried out. The process follows pseudo-second-order kinetics for both the dyes. The Langmuir isotherm results in the best linear fit with a monolayer adsorption capacity of 312.5 mg g<sup>-1</sup> in the case of RhB adsorption and 188.7 mg g<sup>-1</sup> for MO adsorption. Thermodynamic studies reveal the predominance of chemisorption in the removal of RhB, whereas in the case of MO, physisorption is favoured. The versatility in removing various organic dyes is evident from the ∼100% removal of methylene blue (MB), malachite green (MG), crystal violet (CV) dyes as well as a 1:1 mixture of RhB and MO.

The activation results in a significant improvement in specific surface area from 787.9 to 975.4 m<sup>2</sup> <em>g</em><sup>-1</sup> and an enhancement in the number of nanopores.

A nanocomposite (BWO/BR) is formed when BRGO and a visible active Bi<sub>2</sub>WO<sub>6</sub> (BWO) are mixed together. The structural, morphological, and spectroscopic characterizations confirm the formation of BRGO, BWO, and BWO/BR nanocomposite.

It is found to decrease the bandgap of BWO (2.73 eV) to 2.22 eV upon combining with BRGO. Under visible light, BWO/BR exhibits elevated TCH degradation (93 %), which is found to increase in the presence of sunlight (95 %). In the presence of BWO/BR, the degradation of CIP was reported to be 72, 95, and 97.5 % in UV, visible, and sunlight, respectively.
