Functional carbon Nanotube/Mesoporous Carbon/MnOhybrid network for high-performance supercapacitors

Abstract

A functional carbon nanotube/mesoporous carbon/MnOhybrid network has been developed successfully through a facile route. The resulting composites exhibited a high specific capacitance of 351 F/g at 1 A g -1, with intriguing charge/discharge rate performance and cycling stability due to a synergistic combination of large surface area and excellent electron-transport capabilities of MnOwith the good conductivity of the carbon nanotube/mesoporous carbon networks. Such composite shows great potential to be used as electrodes for supercapacitors.
