Electrosynthesis and modification of titania nanotubes and incorporation of manganese-nickel oxides for supercapacitor application

Highly ordered titania nanotubes (TNTs) as a 1D nanostructured material have received a lot of interest for supercapacitor applications due to their large surface area and relatively low cost. In this study, TNTs was synthesized by anodization in glycerol-based electrolytes. Electrochemical reductio...
