Facile One-Pot Synthesis of Bimetallic Co/Mn-MOFs@Rice Husks, and its Carbonization for Supercapacitor Electrodes.

ABSTRACT: Novel hybrid nanomaterials comprising metal-organic framework compounds carbonised in the presence of biomass material derived from rice husk have been investigated as a new class of sustainable supercapacitor materials for electrochemical energy storage. Specifically, two synthetic routes were employed to grow Co/Mn metal-organic framework compounds in the channels of rice husks, which had been activated previously by heat treatment in air at 400 °C to produce a highly porous network. Pyrolysis of these hybrid materials under nitrogen at 700 °C for 6 h produced metal-containing phases within the nanocarbon, comprising intimate mixtures of Co, MnO and CoMn₂O₄. The materials thus produced are characterized in detail using a range of physical methods including XRD, elec
