ABSTRACT=<p>Binary metal oxides composed of molybdenum–vanadium oxides are promising candidates for supercapacitors. Here, we report the synthesis of one-dimensional V<sub>0.13</sub>Mo<sub>0.87</sub>O<sub>2.935</sub> nanowires through a facile one-step hydrothermal method. This nanowire presented a high specific capacitance of 394.6 F g<sup>−1</sup> (1 mV s<sup>−1</sup>) as an electrode applied to the supercapacitor. Importantly, this electrode showed a perfect rate capability of 91.5% (2 to 10 A g<sup>−1</sup>) and a continuous verified outstanding cyclic voltammetry of 97.6% after 10,000 cycles. These superior electrochemical properties make the synthesized V<sub>0.13</sub>Mo<sub>0.87</sub>O<sub>2.935</sub> nanowires a prospective candidate for high-performance supercapacitors.</p>
