Abstract

In this work, we developed a synthetic method for preparing one-dimensional $MnO_2$ nanowires through a hydrothermal method using a mixture of $KMnO_4$ and $MnSO_4$ precursors. As-prepared $MnO_2$ nanowires had a high surface area and porous structure, which are beneficial to the fast electron and ion transfer during electrochemical reaction. The microstructure and chemical structure of $MnO_2$ nanowires were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller measurements. The electrochemical properties of $MnO_2$ nanowire electrodes were also investigated using cyclic voltammetry and galvanostatic charge-discharge with a three-electrode system. $MnO_2$ nanowire electrodes showed a high specific capacitance of 129 F/g, a high rate capability of 61% retention, and an excellent cycle life of 100% during 1000 cycles.

본 연구에서는 1차원의 $MnO_2$ nanowire를 $KMnO_4$와 $MnSO_4$ 전구체 혼합물의 수열합성법(hydrothermal method)을 사용하여 제조할 수 있는 합성법을 개발하였다. 제조된 $MnO_2$ nanowire는 전기화학 반응 동안 전자와 이온전달을 용이하게 할 수 있는 넓은 비표면적과 기공구조를 나타내었다. MnO2 nanowire의 미세구조 및 화학구조를 주사형 전자현미경(SEM), 투과전자현미경(TEM), 광전자분석기(XPS), X-ray 회절분석법(XRD), 비표면적분석장비(BET)를 사용하여 분석하였다. 본 $MnO_2$ nanowire 전극의 전기화학적 특성은 순환전압전류법(cyclic voltammetry)과 정전류 충전-방전법(galvanostatic charge-discharge)을 사용하여 3상 전극 시스템(three-electrode system)에서 분석하였다. $MnO_2$ nanowire 전극은 높은 비정전용량(129 F/g), 고속 충방전(61% retention), 반 영구적인 수명특성(100%)을 나타내었다.
