Incremental substitution of Ni with Mn in NiFe2O4 to largely enhance its supercapacitance properties
Abstract By using a facile hydrothermal method, we synthesized Ni1−xMnxFe2O4 nanoparticles as supercapacitor electrode materials and studied how the incremental substitution of Ni with Mn would affect their structural, electronic, and electrochemical properties. X-ray diffractometry confirmed the si...
