We report a polyaniline-wrapped, manganese-doped titanium oxide (PANi/Mn-TiO2) nanoparticle composite for supercapacitor electrode and photocatalytic degradation. The PANi/Mn-TiO2 nanoparticles were synthesized using a solvothermal process, followed by oxidative polymerization of aniline. The structural properties of studied materials were confirmed by XRD, FTIR, HRTEM, FESEM, and UV visible spectroscopy. The as-prepared PANi/Mn-TiO2 nanoparticles revealed admirable electrochemical performance with a specific capacitance of 635.87 F g−1 at a current density of 1 A g−1 with a notable life cycle retention of 91% after 5000 charge/discharge cycles. Furthermore, the asymmetric cell with PANi/Mn-TiO2 as a positive electrode exhibited energy density of 18.66 W h kg−1 with excellent stability. Moreover, the PANi/Mn-TiO2 had promising photocatalytic activity for methylene blue degradation. The improved performance of PANi/Mn-TiO2 nanoparticles is attributed to the well-built synergetic effect of components that lead to significant reduction of band gap energy and charge transfer resistance, as revealed by UV visible spectroscopy and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy.

We suggest that whole-body vibrations during rest can provide fast, efficient fatigue recovery as a cool down exercise for women, the elderly, and patients without other activity after intense exercise.
