- Mn3O4 thick films by spray pyrolysis.
- Selection of electrolyte using Contact Angle Measurement.
- Porous morphology of the films.
- Study of two important spray pyrolysis method parameters.
- Structural and morphological stability of the electrodes.
Mn3O4 thick film electrodes have been synthesized by spray pyrolysis method. Effect of its two important synthesis parameters viz. solution feed rate and substrate temperature has been studied. Solution feed rate was studied in the range of 150 to 250 cc.minâ1 while substrate temperature was varied from 325 to 400 °C. X-ray diffraction studies confirms Hausmannite crystal structure and SEM studies show spherical grains, uniformly distributed porous microstructure obtained for deposited Mn3O4 thick films. The contact angle measurements show these electrodes have very low contact angle in the range of 2â8° and high surface energy. Cyclic voltammetry study showed specific and interfacial capacitance of Mn3O4 electrodes increased with increase in solution feed rate, due to increased thickness of films. On the other hand, substrate temperature shows effect on film morphology, grain size and porosity, however, does not show any explicit effect on specific and interfacial capacitance. Highest values of specific and interfacial capacitance exhibited by Mn3O4 are 187.79 F.gâ1 and 0.82 F.cmâ2 respectively for sample prepared at 250 cc.minâ1 solution feed rate and 325 °C substrate temperature. The calculated energy density and power density for the same sample was 26.08 Wh.kgâ1 and 1.01 kW.kgâ1 respectively.
