Abstract
Electrochemical performance of MnSiO3/MnO composite obtained as a byproduct of the plasma-assisted aluminothermic processing of Mn ore was investigated. The structural, morphological, elemental, and optical properties of the composite were analyzed. Cyclic voltammetry, galvanostatic charge–discharge, and electrochemical impedance tests were performed in a three-electrode configuration in two different electrolytes. The MnSiO3/MnO electrode yielded high specific capacitance, decent cyclic stability, and good reversibility. A symmetric cell made with MnSiO3/MnO// MnSiO3/MnO delivered high energy and power densities in KOH electrolyte. In this study, an unused byproduct of the plasma-assisted aluminothermic processing of manganese ore was potentially repurposed in energy storage application.
