Abstract
An Electrochemical capacitor electrode material was prepared by precipitating cobalt-manganese oxide nanoparticles on the surface of activated carbon powder (ACP) using a liquid phase plasma method. Polycrystalline spherical 100–170 nm-sized metal oxide nanoparticles were precipitated onto the ACP surface with a high degree of uniformity. The initial concentration of precursor influenced the composition of the precipitated nanoparticles. The nanoparticles were bimetallic oxide nanoparticles composed mainly of Co2+ and Mn3+. Increases in the amount of metal oxide nanoparticles precipitated on ACP, were accompanied by reduced specific surface area, average pore size, and total pore volume, as well as by increased specific capacitance. The metal oxide nanoparticles improved the cyclic stability of the electrochemical capacitor and reduced equivalent series resistance.
