Introduction of Manganese (Mn) ions (2+ ⇋ 3+ ⇋ 4+) to transition metal oxides proved to be a potential strategy to tailor the redox behavior of these materials for energy storage. We fabricate a lower electronegative element (i.e., Mn) doped copper cobaltite and copper oxide (CuCo2O4/CuO; CCO) heterostructures electrodes through the hydrothermal synthesis route. The ensued electrodes have a more than 2-fold improvement in specific capacity (382.9 C g-1) than the undoped CCO electrode (120.8 C g-1) at 1 A g-1. The all-solid-state asymmetric supercapacitor (ASC) practical device is constructed with higher Mn-doped CCO heterostructures as the positive electrode and activated carbon (AC) as the negative electrode. With a voltage window of 1.5 V, the fabricated ASC device has a high specific energy of 52.6 Wh kg-1 and specific power of 774.3 W kg-1. The long-term cyclic stability of 92% capacity retention after 5000 cycles at the current density of 4 A g-1. Additionally, two ASC devices are series-connected that can power up a red light-emitting diode (LED) display for more than150 s, demonstrating the device's efficient power delivery.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
