Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of supercapacitor technology, specifically relating to a manganese oxide / indium tin oxide composite material, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of science and technology, traditional fossil fuels can no longer meet human energy demands. The development of advanced energy conversion and storage devices, such as lithium-ion batteries, fuel cells, and supercapacitors, is now imperative. Over the past few decades, supercapacitors have garnered widespread attention due to their long lifespan, fast charging and discharging, and high power density. Supercapacitors are classified into electric double-layer capacitors (EDLCs) and pseudocapacitors (PDCs). Electrode materials are crucial in determining supercapacitor performance. Metal oxides are currently the most commonly used supercapacitor electrode materials besides carbon materials. Among the many types of transition metal oxides, MnO2 stands out as a promising electrode material due to its very high theoretical capacitance and lithium and sodium storage properties. However, pure MnO2 electrodes often suffer from rapid capacitance decay and poor cycle performance when used as supercapacitor electrode materials. Therefore, preparing composite materials of MnO2 can leverage the synergistic effect between different components to compensate for the shortcomings of MnO2, thereby improving the overall performance of supercapacitors. The combination of manganese dioxide and carbon materials is the most common two-dimensional composite; for example, the combination of MnO2 and CNTs can achieve good conductivity, mechanical strength, and chemical stability. In-situ growth of MnO2 petals on the graphene surface can achieve a large contact area, thereby shortening the ion diffusion path. Besides being combined with carbon materials, manganese dioxide is also frequently combined with pseudocapacitive materials, such as polypyrrole, polyaniline, NiO, Co3O4, and Fe2O3. Composite metal oxides, as electrode materials for supercapacitors, can achieve a larger specific capacitance than the electrode layer and exhibit good cycle performance. However, transition metal oxides generally have poor conductivity, which will partially hinder the electron and charge transport processes in the fabricated electrode material, thus negatively impacting the overall performance of the electrode material.
