Abstract

A novel type of composite electrode based on hydrous manganese oxide and a single-walled carbon nanotube has been prepared and used in electrochemical capacitors. Cyclic voltammetry, galvanostatic charging/discharging tests and electrochemical impedance measurements were applied to investigate the performance of the composite electrodes with different ratios of hydrous manganese oxide and single-walled carbon nanotube. For comparison, the performance of pure hydrous manganese oxide and pure carbon nanotubes was also studied. In this way, the composite electrode with a 6:4 ratio of hydrous manganese oxide to carbon nanotube was found to be the most promising active material for an electrochemical capacitor, which shows both good capacitance and power characteristics.
