Tuning the electrochemical behavior of CoxMn3−x sulfides by varying different Co/Mn ratios in supercapacitor
A series of Co x Mn 3− x sulfides ( x = 0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, and 3) were prepared by a facile one-step solvent thermal route. The crystal structure, morphology, and electrochemical performance of Co–Mn sulfide can be tuned successfully by varying different Co/Mn ratios. As the Co/Mn ratio increa...

sulfides (

The crystal structure, morphology, and electrochemical performance of Co–Mn sulfide can be tuned successfully by varying different Co/Mn ratios. As the Co/Mn ratio increases, the electrochemical performance is improved, which can be ascribed to the synergistic effect between Co ions and Mn ions. Co
