We have fabricated composite electrode materials consisting of manganese-molybdenum mixed oxide and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) for supercapacitor application. The process involves electrophoretic deposition (EPD) of multi-walled CNTs onto an ITO electrode, followed by anodic deposition of Mn-Mo oxide from an aqueous Mn(II) solution containing MoO4
2− anions. Electrochemical properties of the composite electrodes with various combinations of Mn-Mo oxide and CNTs were evaluated systematically with the aim of maximizing the electrochemical utilization of the oxide. Optimization led to a high specific capacitance of 408 F g−1 at a scan rate of 2 mV s−1, with an area-normalized capacitance of 31 mF cm−2 (or a volume-normalized capacitance of 76 F cm−3).
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.
