Capacitive Behavior of MnO2 Nanowires Prepared by Hydrothermal Synthesis Method
Abstract:
KMnO4 and MnSO4 were used to prepare MnO2 nanowires for supercapacitors hydrothermal synthesis method. Scanning electron microscope (SEM), N2 adsorption-desorption and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were used to analyze the as prepared MnO2. Electrochemical performance of MnO2 was characterized by cyclic voltammetry and galvanostatic charge/discharge. The results showed that the nanowires were α-MnO2 with a diameter of 30 to 40 nm. The specific surface area and mean pore diameter was 164.5 m2g-1 and 3.1 nm, respectively. In an electrolyte of 1 molL-1 (NH4)2SO4, the MnO2 had typical capacitive characterization in the potential region of –0.4~0.5V(vs. SCE). At a current density of 10 mAcm-2, a specific capacitance of 466 Fg-1 was achieved. Supercapacitors based on the nanowires exhibited high cycling efficiency
