Beschreibungen/Notizen
► Well entangled hybrids of MnO2 nanowires and MWCNTs are obtained by a facile method. ► Their electrochemical performance as cathode for supercapacitors in 0.5moll−1 Li2SO4 aqueous electrolyte is reported. ► The energy density (17.8Whkg−1) of the supercapacitor stays almost unchanged with power density from 400 to 3340Wkg−1. ► The energy density of the supercapacitor does not fade much after 13,000 cycles.
A hybrid of MnO2-nanowires and MWCNTs to be used as cathode in a supercapacitor with good electrochemical performance was prepared by a facile hydrothermal method. In this hybrid the α-MnO2 nanowires are well entangled with MWCNTs. The MWCNTs provide a network for fast electron transport whereas MnO2 nanowires show a fast redox response. Since gain/loss of both electrons and ions can be realized very rapidly at the same time, the hybrid has an excellent rate capability and delivers an energy density of 17.8Whkg−1 at 400Wkg−1, which is maintained almost constant even at 3340Wkg−1 in 0.5M Li2SO4 aqueous electrolyte. The cycling behavior is very good even in the presence of oxygen. The data present great promise for the hybrid as a practical cathode material for aqueous supercapacitor.
