Abstract
In this paper, cobalt oxide incorporated manganese dioxide nanowires (α-MnO2@Co3O4) have been synthesized by a facile hydrothermal method. The surface morphological, structural, chemical bonding, and electrochemical properties of α-MnO2@Co3O4 at different concentrations (1, 3, 5, 7 wt%) Co3O4 nanoparticles (NPs) were studied. The morphological analysis reveals that the Co3O4 nanoparticles are attached to the surface of randomly oriented MnO2 nanowires. The surface chemical state investigation reveals the formation of oxygen vacancy in the nanocomposite (NC) due to the incorporation of Co3O4 NPs. Incorporation of Co3O4 was also found to improve the electrochemical performance of the nanocomposite. The hydrothermally produced α-MnO2@Co3O4 nanocomposite exhibits the highest specific capacitance of 654.57 Fg−1 at a current density of 0.15 Ag−1. The unique structure and the presence of oxygen vacancy of the hetero-structured α-MnO2@Co3O4 electrode enable rapid electron and ion transport, resulting in improved capacitive performance. The distinctive α-MnO2@Co3O4 nanocomposite may offer a novel route for advanced energy storage applications.
