“…The broad diffraction peaks of MnO 2 and MnO 2 @BP indicate that the oxide and the composite are poorly crystallized, probably due to the absence of long-range order of the MnO 6 octahedra. 29,30,36,57,58 Two diffraction peaks at 2θ = 25…”

“…MnO 2 has been deposited onto a carbon support by various methods such as sol-gel route, thermal decomposition, electrodeposition, sonochemical synthesis, and redox reaction. 18,31,[34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45] Some of the electrodes prepared by these methods have yielded promising specific capacitance values, but in several cases the MnO 2 loading is either not mentioned or the MnO 2 film very thin.

A MnO 2 @BP nanocomposite was synthesized by simultaneously reduction of KMnO 4 with Mn(CH 3 COO) 2 .4H 2 O and highly porous Black Pearls 2000 at room temperature. The specific surface area, porosity, crystalline form and conductivity of MnO 2 @BP nanocomposite were characterized by nitrogen gas adsorption measurements, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and 4-point probe measurements, respectively. The content of MnO 2 and BP in the composite was determined by thermogravimetric analysis. Chemical mapping using Raman spectroscopy was performed to investigate the distribution of MnO 2 and BP in a composite electrode film prepared with polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) as binder. This composite electrode exhibits more homogeneously distributed MnO 2 particles when compared to an electrode made by physical mixing of MnO 2 , BP and PTFE (MnO 2 /BP-PTFE). Also, Raman spectroscopy data of both composite electrodes indicates a loss of electrical conductivity of BP in the case of MnO 2 @BP-PTFE. The electrochemical properties were characterized by cyclic voltammetry in aqueous 0.65 M K 2 SO 4 . The specific capacitance of MnO 2 @BP-PTFE composite electrode was 122 ± 5 F/g, which is statistically equivalent to the capacitance of MnO 2 /BP-PTFE composite electrode (129 ± 6 F/g Owing to its large theoretical capacitance, low cost, environmental friendliness and high density, manganese dioxide (MnO 2 ) is an ideal candidate for positive electrode in asymmetric electrochemical capacitor.1-4 However the performance of MnO 2 -based electrodes is limited by the low electrical and ionic conductivities of MnO 2 . Approaches to increase the low specific capacitance of MnO 2 -based electrode include the addition of a conductive additive such as carbons [5][6][7][8][9] or conductive polymers 10-14 to MnO 2 for the fabrication of a composite electrode. On the other hand, the deposition of a thin MnO 2 layer on carbon with various (nano)architectures 7,15-24 yielded high capacitance (∼700 F/g) when only the mass of MnO 2 was taking into account. 1,8,9,16 Such composite electrodes show typical specific capacitance in the range of 150-250 F/g. Thus, the reported specific capacitance per mass of manganese dioxide is more dependent on the quantity of MnO 2 than the nature of the conductive carbon. 5,8,9,16,[21][22][23][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33] Obtaining good electrochemical performance for MnO 2 -based composite electrodes requires that the electrical contact between MnO 2 and the carbon to be as intimate as possible. 21,34 An attractive approach to achieve it, involves the deposition of MnO 2 onto carbon. 15,22,31,[34][35][36][37][38] By this mean, the effective interfacial area between manganese oxide and the solution is greatly increased.

Their advantages, disadvantages, and performance in ES electrodes are discussed through extensive analysis of the literature, and new trends in material development are also reviewed. Two important future research directions are indicated and summarized, based on results published in the literature: the development of composite and nanostructured ES materials to overcome the major challenge posed by the low energy density of ES (476 references).

For efficient use of metal oxides, such as MnO 2 and RuO 2 , in pseudocapacitors and other electrochemical applications, the poor conductivity of the metal oxide is a major problem. To tackle the problem, we have designed a ternary nanocomposite film composed of metal oxide (MnO 2 ), carbon nanotube (CNT), and conducting polymer (CP). Each component in the MnO 2 /CNT/CP film provides unique and critical function to achieve optimized electrochemical properties. The electrochemical performance of the film is evaluated by cyclic voltammetry, and constant-current charge/discharge cycling techniques. Specific capacitance (SC) of the ternary composite electrode can reach 427 F/g. Even at high mass loading and high concentration of MnO 2 (60%), the film still showed SC value as high as 200 F/g. The electrode also exhibited excellent charge/discharge rate and good cycling stability, retaining over 99% of its initial charge after 1000 cycles. The results demonstrated that MnO 2 is effectively utilized with assistance of other components (fFWNTs and poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)-poly(styrenesulfonate) in the electrode. Such ternary composite is very promising for the next generation high performance electrochemical supercapacitors. KEYWORDS MnO 2; fFWNTs, PEDOT-PSS, supercapacitor, effective utilization.A s the limited availability of fossil fuel and the environmental impacts of a society based on such energy sources becoming more obvious, the need for renewable energy sources has attracted attentions of the world. Systems for electrochemical energy storage and conversion include batteries, fuel cells, and supercapacitors. Among them, supercapacitors, also known as electrical double layer capacitor, ultracapacitor, or electrochemical capacitor (EC), have attracted much attention because of their high power density, long cycle life (>100 000 cycles), and rapid charging-discharging rates.1 They can be applied in a large variety of applications, including consumer electronics, memory back-up systems, industrial power, energy management, public transportation, and military devices. More importantly, supercapacitors are critical components in the next generation all-electric cars and cars based on fuel cells that use hydrogen or alcohol as clean and renewable energy media.Various materials have been investigated as the electrodes in ECs, including carboneous materials, 2-4 conducting polymers 5,6 and transition-metal oxides. 7,8 MnO 2 is generally considered to be the most promising transition metal oxides for the next generation of supercapacitors because of its high-energy density, low cost, environmental friendliness, and natural abundance. 9,10The published results thus far established that the electrochemical performance of MnO 2 depended on their morphology, porosity, specific surface area, electrical conductivity and ionic transport within the pores. 11,12 In this context, layered mesoporous birnessite-type manganese oxide materials are attracting great interest due to their high surface area, low density, a...
