The successful synthesis of phosphorus-doped cobalt-manganese oxide nanowires electrode has led to improved conductivity and electrochemical activity, resulting in high mass specific capacity and cycling stability. The hybrid supercapacitor assembled with the P-Co2MnO4-x electrode shows remarkable energy density and power energy.
Transition metal oxides (TMOs) have poor electronic conductivity and insufficient electrochemical active sites, which prevent them from being widely applied in high-performance supercapacitors. Herein, a phosphorus-doped cobalt-manganese oxide nanowires electrode with rich oxygen vacancies (P-Co2MnO4-x) is successfully synthesized by two simple methods (hydrothermal and calcination). The oxygen vacancies formed in high temperature sintering increase the conductivity of the original electrode materials. In addition, trace doping of P atoms in Co2MnO4, can improve the redox kinetics and provide more electrochemical active centers for electrode materials. As a result, the optimized P-Co2MnO4, nanowires electrode delivers an ultrahigh mass specific capacity of 838 F g(-1) at 1 A g(-1), and a super cycling stability (80.3% capacitance retention after 10,000 cycles). A hybrid supercapacitor assembling with P-Co2MnO4-x electrode exhibits a supernal energy density of 25.18 Wh kg(-1) along with a remarkable power energy of 800.07 W kg(-1). The introduction of double defects into binary cobalt-manganese oxide is shown to be resultful in improving the electrochemical performance of materials in this study. Moreover, this research also provides a novel way of thinking for the further study of defect engineering. (C) 2021 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
