Abstract
Manganese incorporated cobalt oxide thin films were deposited on stainless steel by using potentiodynamic electrodeposition via aqueous route. The structural elucidation reveals face-centered cubic Co3O4 and orthorhombic MnO2 having polycrystalline nature. FESEM and TEM show porous granular surface morphology along with nano-spikes. AFM image exhibits granular morphology. Optimized samples were studied for further electrochemical characterizations. All CV curves show mixed capacitive behavior. As compared to others, 1% manganese incorporation electrode shows maximum specific capacitance 605.39 F/g at 2 mV/s in 1M KOH. Chronopotentiometric charge–discharge studies report power density 18.12 kW/kg, energy density 33.7 Wh/kg and columbic efficiency 73.89%. To know the internal resistive properties of the electrode, the electrochemical impedance analysis was carried out in the frequency range 1 mHz to 1 MHz. Using Nyquist plot, the observed internal resistance is ~ 0.78 Ω. ZsimpWin software was used to develop Randle’s equivalent circuit to search the circuitry parameters associated with the cell.
