This study reports the in situ synthesis of Mn3O4 nanocubes decorated on N-doped reduced graphene oxide, forming Mn3O4/N-rGO nanohybrids. These nanohybrids exhibit a high electrochemical potential window and energy density in water-based electrolytes, as well as excellent cycling stability after 10,000 cycles. The Mn3O4/N-rGO-based symmetric supercapacitor shows a high cell voltage in an aqueous electrolyte, making it comparable to commercially available devices using organic electrolytes.
The present work reports one-pot in situ synthesis of Mn3O4 nanocubes (average size = 33 nm) decorated on N-doped reduced graphene oxide to produce Mn3O4/N-rGO (N-GMn) nanohybrids by employing an aqueous reaction mixture of GO and greener reagent, glycine in the presence of MnCl2 under environmentally friendly mild conditions of temperature and near neutral pH -8. This process involves simultaneous reduction of GO and oxidation of Mn2+ species along with the doping of nitrogen forming Mn-O-C/O-Mn-N bonds to yield N-GMn nanohybrids, as confirmed by X-ray diffraction, Raman, Fourier transform infrared, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy studies. The N-GMn nanohybrids provide a high electrochemical potential window of -1.3 to +1.3 V, i.e., 2.6 V and -1.5 to +1.5 V, i.e., 3.0 V in neutral salt-in-water (0.5 M K2SO4) and water-in-salt (17 m NaClO4) electrolytes, respectively. Thus, the use of N-GMn as the electrode material, in which the integration of Mn3O4 and N-rGO takes place through covalent linkage (Mn-O-C/O-Mn-N), not only assisted in designing an aqueous symmetric supercapacitor in 17 m NaClO4 with high cell voltage (2.7 V) and energy density of 168 W h kg-1 at a power density of 675 W kg-1 but also contributed to achieve novel electrochemical attributes of a high cycling stability of 99.7% after 10,000 cycles. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on the Mn3O4/N-rGO-based symmetric supercapacitor, providing a high cell voltage of 2.7 V in an aqueous electrolyte comparable to the organic electrolyte-based commercial symmetric supercapacitor devices, thus demonstrating the importance of the present work for practical applications.
