These MnO2-based materials have been characterized by BET, XRD, ICP, FESEM, and TEM. The electrochemical performance was measured by CV and charge/discharge tests in 1 M Na2SO4 aqueous solution. From the charge/discharge test, the calculated specific capacitance of the Fe/MnO2 sample was 210 F/g at a specific current of 0.4 A/g. It indicates that Fe-modified δ-MnO2 has well electrochemical properties for supercapacitor applications.
