Description
Summary:[Display omitted] •Electrochemical properties of Mn3O4 thin films.•Crystallite size in the range of 14–19nm.•Highest specific capacitance of 394Fg−1 for film deposited at 350°C.•Specific energy and specific power are 8.27Whkg−1 and 850Wkg−1, respectively. Manganese oxide (Mn3O4) is considered one of the most promising materials for high-performance supercapacitors due to its extraordinary theoretical specific capacitance, low-cost, environmental benignity and natural abundance. Mn3O4 thin films have been deposited by spray pyrolysis using aqueous/organic solvent mixture. These films were characterized for structural, morphological, optical and electrical measurements. The electrochemical performance of the supercapacitor was studied by using cyclic voltammetry curves recorded at different scan rates. The porous Mn3O4 thin film electrode exhibits significantly improved supercapacitive performance in 1M Na2SO4 electrolyte with highest specific capacitance of 394Fg−1 at scan rate of 10mVs−1 for film deposited at 350°C. The specific energy and specific power are found to be 8.27Whkg−1 and 850Wkg−1, respectively, at a current density of 1Ag−1. The specific capacitance of the Mn3O4 electrode maintains 93.01% of its initial value after 1000 cycles, at a current density of 1Ag−1 showing a good cycling stability.
