Abstract

In this report, $MnO_2$ nanoparticle-deposited functionalized graphene sheets were prepared and their superior electrochemical performances were demonstrated by cyclic voltammetry, galvanostatic charge-discharge, and impedance analysis. Ionic liquids were employed to functionalize the surface of reduced graphene oxides (RGOs), leading to prevention of the aggregation of RGO sheets and abundant growth sites for deposition of $MnO_2$ nanoparticles. As-prepared $MnO_2/RGO$ nanocomposites were characterized using scanning electron microscope, transition electron microscope, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction. Electrochemical properties of $MnO_2/RGO$ electrode were evaluated using $Na_2SO_4$ electrolyte under a three-electrode system. The $MnO_2/RGO$ electrode showed a high specific capacitance (251 F/g), a high rate capability (80.5% retention), and long-term stability (93.6% retention).

본 연구에서는 $MnO_2$ 나노입자들이 기능화된 그래핀에 증착된 나노복합체를 제조하고 이의 우수한 전기화학적 특성을 순환전압전류법, 정전류 충전-방전법 및 임피던스 분석을 통하여 증명하였다. 환원된 그래핀 산화물의 표면 개질을 위하여 이온성 액체를 도입함으로써, 그래핀 시트들 간의 뭉침현상을 제어하고 $MnO_2$ 나노입자들의 성장부위를 제공하였다. 상기 제조된 $MnO_2/RGO$ 나노복합체는 전자주사현미경, 투과전자현미경, X선 광전자 분광기, X선 회절기를 사용하여 분석하였다. $MnO_2/RGO$ 전극의 전기화학적 특성은 $Na_2SO_4$ 전해액을 사용하여 3상 전극 시스템 하에서 분석실시하였다. $MnO_2/RGO$ 전극은 높은 비정전용량(251 F/g), 고속 충방전(80.5% 용량 유지율) 및 장수명 특성(93.6% 용량 유지율)을 나타내었다.
