Effect Of Mno2 Content On Electrochemical Capacitance Behavior Of Active Carbon Electrode, Kun Shen, Xian-Liang Zhou, Qi-Shun Duan

Journal of Electrochemistry

In this work, the manganese dioxide (MnO₂) materials were prepared by solution approach at low temperature, thermal decomposition and electrochemical deposition. The actived carbon (AC) and MnO₂ composite electrodes were used for aqueous supercapacitors. The morphologies and structures of the prepared materials were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and the electrochemical behaviors were tested by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and galanostatic charge-discharge tests. Electrochemical test data show that the maximum specific capacitances of 151, 172 and 141 F•g^-1 were obtained with the contents of MnO₂ being 70, 60 and 70% in …
