Abstract

Novel colloidal pseudocapacitors are designed using commercially available MnCl2 salts as starting materials and KOH as electrolyte, where the colloids synthesis and subsequently integrating into practical electrode structures occur at the same spatial and temporal scale. Highly electroactive Mn7O13·5H2O colloids are formed in-situ by electric field assisted chemical coprecipitation in KOH solution.
