Binder-free MnMoO4 nanoribbons on Ni-foam for high performance electrochemical energy storage devices

The monoclinic alpha-MnMoO4 nanoribbons are successfully grown on the nickel-foam by a one-step hydrothermal method. The electrodes with different mass-loadings of MnMoO4 on nickel-foam are prepared and characterized for the electrochemical performance. The binder-free electrode with 0.1 mg mass-loading exhibits a spectacular specific-capacity of 1050 mAhg(-1) (9000 Fg(-1)) at 5 Ag-1. Even at 50 Ag-1, retention of 72.5% is maintained after 1000 charge-discharge cycles. The potential use of MnMoO4 on nickel-foam for high performance energy-storage application has been systematically studied and analysed.
