MnO2 spontaneously coated on carbon nanotubes for enhanced water oxidation.
نویسندگان
چکیده
δ-MnO2/o-MWCNTs were synthesized by coating MnO2 spontaneously on oxidized multi-walled carbon nanotubes via simple immersion of the o-MWCNTs into KMnO4 solution. This catalyst comprising the outer region of catalytic MnO2 and the inner region of highly conductive o-MWCNTs enhanced photocatalytic water oxidation activity.

Enhanced electrochemical performance of MWNT@MnO2 composites in polymerized ionic liquids.
In this article, we report a newly devised composite electrode for electrochemical capacitors, by depositing manganese dioxide (MnO2) on the surface of carbon nanotubes via a spontaneous redox reaction. X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopic studies demonstrated a homogeneous coating of layered MnO2 on the surface of the carbon nanotubes. The MWNT@MnO2 composite electrode displ...
متن کاملEffect of percolation on the capacitance of supercapacitor electrodes prepared from composites of manganese dioxide nanoplatelets and carbon nanotubes.
Here we demonstrate significant improvements in the performance of supercapacitor electrodes based on 2D MnO2 nanoplatelets by the addition of carbon nanotubes. Electrodes based on MnO2 nanoplatelets do not display high areal capacitance because the electrical properties of such films are poor, limiting the transport of charge between redox sites and the external circuit. In addition, the mecha...
متن کاملWater Plasma Functionalized CNTs/MnO2 Composites for Supercapacitors
A water plasma treatment applied to vertically-aligned multiwall carbon nanotubes (CNTs) synthesized by plasma enhanced chemical vapour deposition gives rise to surface functionalization and purification of the CNTs, along with an improvement of their electrochemical properties. Additional increase of their charge storage capability is achieved by anodic deposition of manganese dioxide lining t...
متن کاملPorous honeycomb structures formed from interconnected MnO2 sheets on CNT-coated substrates for flexible all-solid-state supercapacitors
The use of lightweight and easily-fabricated MnO2/carbon nanotube (CNT)-based flexible networks as binder-free electrodes and a polyvinyl alcohol/H2SO4 electrolyte for the formation of stretchable solid-state supercapacitors was examined. The active electrodes were fabricated from 3D honeycomb porous MnO2 assembled from cross-walled and interconnected sheet-architectural MnO2 on CNT-based plast...
متن کاملElectrochemical Oxidation of Sulfamethazine on Multi-Walled Nanotube Film Coated Glassy Carbon Electrode
The electrochemical oxidation of sulfamethazine (SMZ) has been studied at a multi-walled carbon nanotubes modified glassy carbon electrode (MWCNT-GCE) by cyclic voltammetry. This modified electrode (MWCNT-GCE) exhibited excellent electrocatalytic behavior toward the oxidation of SMZ as evidenced by the enhancement of the oxidation peak current and the shift in the anodic potential to less posit...
