Abstract: | The latest research progress of MnO2/graphene based binary and ternary composites in supercapacitors are reviewed. Due to the stacking caused by van der Waals forces, the actual specific capacitance of graphene is not very high. The theoretical specific capacitance of MnO2 is as high as 1370 F/g, but its pseudo capacitance is limited by the thickness of MnO2, and the actual specific capacitance is much smaller than the theoretical value. The combination of graphene and MnO2, where MnO2 nanostructures anchored between graphene nanosheets as spacers, can effectively inhibit the stacking of graphene and enhance the interface charge transfer. With the synergistic effect of both functions, it is expected to achieve high specific capacitance and high conductivity and good cycling stability. The preparation method and electrochemical performance of MnO2/graphene composites are introduced. The electrochemical performance of MnO2/graphene ternary composites are analyzed. The introduction of metal oxides or conductive polymers can further improve the electrochemical performance. Finally, a series of issues for the application of MnO2/graphene-based multi-component composites and devices are analyzed, such as safety and reliability, large-scale production and cost reduction. With the mature and break-through of technology, it is expected to achieve applications in industry, transportation and daily electronics. |
