Self-Assembled Array of Tethered Manganese Oxide Nanoparticles for the Next Generation of Energy Storage

Many challenges must be overcome in order to create reliable electrochemical energy storage devices with not only high energy but also high power densities. Gaps exist in both battery and supercapacitor technologies, with neither one satisfying the need for both large power and energy densities in a single device. To begin addressing these challenges (and others), we report a process to create ...
