Enhanced performance of asymmetric hybrid capacitors via hydrothermal synthesis of MWCNT-embedded CuMn2O4/MnO2 composite as a high-efficiency positive electrode
摘要
High-performance supercapacitors are critical for next-generation energy storage systems, necessitating exceptional cycling stability along with elevated power and energy densities. This research explores; we outline a pioneering approach for the development of CuMn2O4/MnO2@MWCNT electrodes specifically designed for supercapacitor applications. The unique hierarchical structure of CuMn2O4/MnO2, when combined with the porous framework of MWCNTs, leads to a substantial enhancement in charge storage capacity and ion accessibility. The synergistic interaction between CuMn2O4 and MnO2 optimizes demonstrating hybrid charge storage behavior, resulting in a remarkable improvement in overall specific capacitance. The CuMn2O4/MnO2@MWCNT composites deliver a specific capacitance of 1680 F g−1 at a current density of 1 A g−1. We also developed an ASC device utilizing CuMn2O4/MnO2@MWCNT and activated carbon as the positive and negative electrodes, achieving a superior energy density of 51.09 Wh/kg at a power density of 800 W/kg. Moreover, the ASC demonstrates outstanding cycling performance, retaining 98% of its specific capacitance maintained after 10,000 cycles. The data reveal the capability of CuMn2O4/MnO2@MWCNT-based hybrid capacitors for advancing future energy storage technologies.
