“…Other metal oxides have been considered as possible candidates for electrochemical supercapacitor devices, among which zinc, manganese, and copper-oxide systems have received great attention because of their high theoretical pseudocapacitance, wide voltage windows, low cost, and environmental compatibilities. [5][6][7][8][9][10][11] ZnO, possessing several, extensively investigated physical properties that have led to a wide range of applications in optoelectronics and catalysis, has recently been considered as a candidate for use in supercapacitors as a pure oxide, [12][13][14] as a Mn-doped oxide, [15,16] and as a dopant of Mn oxide. [17] ZnO for supercapacitor applications has been prepared by using sol-gel techniques, [17] precipitation, [12] microwave assisted synthesis, [13] seeded [14] and wet [16] chemical methods, and by spray pyrolysis.…”
