Abstract:
A ultrasonic dipping method was used to prepared mesoporous MnO
2 with SBA-15 as a hard template and Mn(NO
3)
2 as a Mn source. The texture/structures of the samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), nitrogen adsorption-desorption and thermogravimetry-differential thermal analysis (TG/DTA). Galvanostatie charge-discharge, cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) were performed to investigate the electrochemical performanee of the samples. The results indicated that the synthesized MnO
2 fabricated SBA-15 structure. The specific surface and mesopore size of the synthesized MnO
2 were 282 m
2·g
-1 and 2.75 nm, respectively. As an electrode material of supercapaeitors, mesoporous MnO
2 exhibited favorable reversible kinetic characteristics, low charge transfer resistance and high electrochemical activity, which had a initial specific capacitance of 285 F·g
-1 and retained at 210 F·g
-1 after 500 cycles.
