Synthesis of MnMoO4/α-MoO3 composite materials for supercapacitor

We have successfully synthesized MnMoO4/MoO3 composite materials tailored for supercapacitor applications. The supercapacitive performance of the MnMoO4/α-MoO3 composite materials was evaluated using cyclic voltammetry and constant current charge–discharge methods. The synthesis yielded an ideal composite material, with low-resistance MnMoO4 seamlessly integrated with high ion-conductive MoO3. At a current density of 3 A/g, the specific capacitance was measured at 1878.7 F/g, achieving an energy density of 260.9 Wh kg−1 and a power density of 1.448 kW kg−1. The composite materials demonstrated significant potential for the production of high-density supercapacitors.
