摘要

Nanosized manganese oxides powders were potentiodynamically deposition onto the Pb substrates by anodic oxidation in 0.5 mol L-1 MnSO4 and 0.5 mol L-1 H2SO4 mixed solution at 40 degrees C. The chemical composition of the sample was determined by complex titration with ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid and redox titration. X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, cyclic voltammetry, and chronopotentiometry were employed to characterize the materials. The highest specific capacitance of the MnOx composite electrode was up to 420 F g(-1) in 1.0 mol L-1 Na2SO4 electrolyte at the scan rate 5 mV s(-1). The synthesized nanosized manganese oxide exhibited ideal capacitive behavior indicating a promising electrode material for electrochemical supercapacitors.
