Highly crystalline MnO2 nanostructures are fabricated by a simple acid reduction of KMnO4 solution followed by air-annealing. Their excellent electrochemical properties are useful for combinatorial morphology-controlled high performance supercapacitor applications.
Crystal phase and morphology variations obtained by simple high-temperature annealing offer promising strategies for employing nanostructured manganese oxide as a cathode catalyst for microbial fuel cells (MFCs).
The application of graphene (RGO)-based composites as electrode materials in supercapacitors can be limited by the fabrication complexity and costs, and the non-environmentally friendly nature of the production process.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
