Abstract: | Manganese oxide (MnOx)-based hybrid electrode materials have been designed by electrochemical deposition on carbon cloth preliminary activated by palladium (Pd) nanoparticles. The synthesis conditions (current density, deposition time) were chosen in such a way as to achieve a stable structure of MnOx with a large surface area. The structural parameters and surface morphology of materials obtained are characterized by Scanning Electron and Transmission Electron Microscopy (SEM, TEM), Raman spectroscopy, X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS), etc. The electrochemical behavior was investigated by cyclic voltammetry, galvanostatic charge/discharge and impedance spectroscopy. The attained results indicate that MnOx deposits reviled birnessite-type structural feature. Apart from that, the morphology of MnOx transformed with increasing of current density from needlelike structure to loosely-packed thin sheets and then to closed-packed thicker sheets structures. Different morphology exhibits different specific surface area and electrochemical efficiency. Hence electrochemical analysis reviled the highest specific capacitance (186 F g−1) and cyclic stability for MnOxPdCC with obtained at current density of 1 mA cm−2. It can be explained by the formation of a less dense structure of MnOx (loosely-packed thin sheets) with large specific surface area and thus better permeability for Na+ and SO4 −2 ions. As to the role of Pd, its nanoparticles deposited on CC can play a dual role, namely electron conducting passway between CC and MnOx and structure–guiding agent of manganese oxides nucleation and grows. © 2018 Elsevier Ltd | ||||||||||
