摘要

In this study, a simple and low-cost green chemistry process was employed to synthesize mixed Bixbyite (Mn2O3) and Hausmannite (Mn3O4) nanopowder. It consists of a wet chemistry method using Olive Leaf Extract (OLE), whom bioactive constituting compounds, including polyphenols, act as complexing and reducing agents, promoting oxide nucleation, and followed by moderate annealing at 500 °C, allowing co-crystal growth. The nanopowder was then deposited on a Conradty Nürnberg Noris D-type carbon (CND) substrate, forming a homogeneous well-adhered layer, and the electrochemical performance of the resulting electrode was evaluated toward supercapacitor application. Galvanostatic charge/discharge (GCD) and cyclic voltammetry (CV) analyses revealed outstanding capacitive performance. Specifically, high specific capacitance values of 552.4 F g− 1 (from CV at a scan rate of 5 mV s− 1) and 512.8 F g− 1 (from GCD at a current density of 4 A g− 1) were measured. A good rate capability and stable cycling behavior with 91.84% retention were also observed. These results establish a clear correlation between the enhanced supercapacitive properties of the engineered electrode and its superior interfacial characteristics. Python-based multiphysics numerical modeling validated these issues, providing deeper insights onto their hybrid charge storage mechanism.
