Abstract
Amorphous and highly porous nanonest like Fe:MnO2 thin films have been potentiostatically synthesized and are characterized by using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), Energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDAX), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), wettability test and optical properties. The supercapacitive performance of Fe:MnO2 electrodes were tested using cyclic voltammetry (CV), charge–discharge and impedance techniques in 1M Na2SO4 electrolyte. The effect of Fe doping on structural, morphological, compositional and supercapacitive properties of MnO2 thin films has been investigated. Further, the effect of electrolyte concentration and scan rate on the supercapacitance of MnO2 and Fe:MnO2 electrodes have been studied. The results showed that as Fe doping concentration increases up to 2at% the supercapacitance increases from 166 to 231Fg−1. The maximum specific capacitance of 273Fg−1 was achieved for 2at% Fe:MnO2 at 5mVs−1 scan rate.
