摘要
Ball-nanostructured MnO2/MWCNTs composite was successfully prepared by microwave irradiation. The surface morphology and structures of the composite were examined by scanning electron microscope and X-ray diffraction. Multi-walled carbon nanotubes play a role as sustainment to inhibit MnO2 nanoplates from collapsing into nanorods. The electrochemical studies indicated that the composite had ideal capacitive performance and high specific capacitances of 298 F g(-1), 213 F g(-1) and 198 F g-1 at the current density of 2 mA.cm(-2), 10 mA.cm(-2) and 20 mA.cm(-2), respectively. The formation mechanism of nanostructured MnO2/ MWCNTs and the electrochemical behaviour of composites were discussed in detail. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
