Abstract: | Manganese–vanadium oxide had been synthesized by a novel simple precipitation technique. Scanning electron microscopy, X-ray
diffraction, Brunauer–Emmett–Teller, thermogravimetric analysis/differential scanning calorimetry, and X-ray photoelectron
spectroscopy were used to characterize Mn–V binary oxide and δ-MnO2. Electrochemical capacitive behavior of the synthesized Mn–V binary oxide and δ-MnO2 was investigated by cyclic voltammetry, galvanostic charge–discharge curve, and electrochemical impedance spectroscope methods.
The results showed that, by introducing V into δ-MnO2, the specific surface area of the mixed oxide increased due to a formation of small grain size. The specific capacitance
increased from 166 F g−1 estimated for MnO2 to 251 F g−1 for Mn–V binary oxide, and the applied potential window extended to −0.2–1.0 V (vs. saturated calomel electrode). Through
analysis, it is suggested that the capacitance performance of Mn–V binary oxide materials may be improved by changing the
following three factors: (1) small grain and particle size and large activity surface area, (2) appropriate amount of lattice
water, and (3) chemical state on the surface of MnO2 material. |
