Three-dimensional arrays of 1D MnO2 nanocrystals for all-solid-state asymmetric supercapacitors

Reported is the synthesis of 3D hierarchical structures based on one-dimensional MnO2 nanobuilding blocks (nanorods, nanowires, and nanoneedles) by means of a facile and scalable coprecipitation method and their use as electrodes for the assembly of all-solid-state supercapacitors.

Sumario:Reported is the synthesis of 3D hierarchical structures based on one-dimensional MnO2 nanobuilding blocks (nanorods, nanowires, and nanoneedles) by means of a facile and scalable coprecipitation method and their use as electrodes for the assembly of all-solid-state supercapacitors. Asymmetric devices were also assembled by using these nanostructured MnO2 materials as the positive electrode and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) as the negative electrode with a polymeric gel electrolyte. The asymmetric cells successfully extend the working voltage windows beyond 1.4 V and allowed for a maximum voltage of 1.8 V. An asymmetric device based on hierarchical nanoneedle-like MnO2 and rGO achieved a maximum specific capacitance of 99 F g-1 at a scan rate of 10 mV s-1 with a stable operational voltage of 1.8 V. This high value allowed for a large specific energy of 24.12 Wh kg-1.
