The fabrication of stainless steel electrode decorated with Mn oxide nanostructure arrays via a facile two-step solution-based method was present. Amorphous Mn oxide films were firstly electrodeposited, and then hydrothermally transformed into Mn oxide nanostructure with different crystal nature. A cation induced growth mechanism was proposed and the effect of stainless steel substrate was discussed. Super-capacitor electrodes based on the obtained nanostructured were thoroughly characterized. An increase in specific capacitance from 79 F g(-1) to 301 F g(-1) at 1 A g(-1) after hydrothermal treatment was achieved, owing to the unique open-spaced array architecture and self-supported binder-free electrode. In addition, the Mn oxide electrode showed good structural activity in electrochemical degradation of MB solution. This preparation process offers a new way for the design and synthesis of self-supported metal hydroxide and oxide nanoarray electrode with the facile tuning method, which is promising for electrochemical energy storage, catalysis, and gas sensing applications.
