Hybrid electrochemical supercapacitor based on birnessite-type MnO2/carbon composite as the positive electrode and carbonized iron-polyaniline/nickel graphene foam as a negative electrode

In this work, a birnessite-type MnO2/carbon composite with hierarchical nanostructures was synthesized using KMnO4 solution and spent printing carbon grains. A hybrid electrochemical supercapacitor device was fabricated based on the birnessite-type MnO2–carbon composite electrode and carbonized iron...
