Room-temperature facile synthesis of MnO2 on carbon film via UV-photolysis for supercapacitor

A facile UV-photolysis method has been developed to synthesize birnessite-type MnO2 nanosheets on carbon film at room temperature for supercapacitor electrode materials. The results clearly demonstrated that the specific capacitance of carbon/MnO2 composite electrodes was controlled by the adjustabl...
