Mn2O3 nanomaterials have been recently composing a variety of electrochemical systems like fuel cells, supercapacitors, etc., due to their high specific capacitance, low cost, abundance and environmentally benign nature. In this work, mesoporous Mn2O3 nanoparticles (NPs) were synthesized by manganese acetate, citric acid and sodium hydroxide through a hydrothermal process at 150 °C for 3 h. The synthesized mesoporous Mn2O3 NPs were thoroughly characterized in terms of their morphology, surfaces, as well as their crystalline, electrochemical and electrochemical properties. For supercapacitor applications, the synthesized mesoporous Mn2O3 NP-based electrode accomplished an excellent specific capacitance (Csp) of 460 F·g−1 at 10 mV·s−1 with a good electrocatalytic activity by observing good electrochemical properties in a 6 M KOH electrolyte. The excellent Csp might be explained by the improvement of the surface area, porous surface and uniformity, which might favor the generation of large active sites and a fast ionic transport over the good electrocatalytic surface of the Mn2O3 electrode. The fabricated supercapacitors exhibited a good cycling stability after 5000 cycles by maintaining ~83% of Csp.

The composites of graphene oxide/ Fe2O3-nanotubes (GO/ Fe2O3-NTs) have been fabricated through a facile one-step hydrothermal method. Fe2O3-NTs crystallines were homogeneously distributed on GO, which have been confirmed by transmission electron microscopy analysis (TEM). The structure, composition and electrochemical properties of GO/ Fe2O3-NTs composites were investigated by means of selective-area electron diffraction (SAED), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectra, cyclic voltammogram (CV) curves and galvanostatic charge–discharge curves. GO/ Fe2O3-NTs composites exhibit a high specific capacitance of 133.2 Fg-1in 1 M Li2SO4electrolyte. In addition, the GO/ Fe2O3-NTs composites electrode shows good long-term cycle stability (only 9% decrease of the specific capacitance is observed after 1000 charge–discharge cycles).

The microwave-hydrothermal method for synthesizing g-MnO2 has been investigated for the first time. The dandelion-like g-MnO2 active material with 1.0-5.0 μm in diameter was obtained from KBrO3 and MnSO4 via the novel method. Compared with traditional low-temperature hydrothermal method, this approach lowers the temperature by 30-40 °C, and shorts the reaction time 6-14 h. Electrochemical properties of dandelion-like γ-MnO2were elucidated by cyclic voltammetry, galvanostatic charge-discharge and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy tests. The synthesized material shows a relative high specific capacitance, and the MnO2 obtained at the condition of 75 °C for 2 h shows the best electrochemical properties with a specific capacitance of 239.3 F·g-1 at the current density of 100 mA·g-1 in 6 M KOH electrolyte solution.

A single step synthesized Co3O4–polyindole composite electrode exhibits high specific capacitance, rate performance and cyclability. This enhanced electrochemical supercapacitive behavior is mainly attributed to the synergistic effect between Co3O4 and polyindole.

In this report, NFL-ZnWO4 was synthesized by a hydrothermal route and investigated for application in supercapacitors for the first time. The physical and chemical characterizations of the prepared nanomaterial were analyzed by SEM, EDS, XRD and XPS, respectively. Supercapacitors study of CV, GCD and EIS revealed that NFL-ZnWO4 exhibits good electrochemical properties. The high specific capacitance value of 107.7 F g-1 was achieved at 5 mV s−1. These findings demonstrated that ZnWO4 could be a promising electrode material candidate and highly desirable for application of high property supercapacitors in the future.
