Manganese oxide synthesized from spent Zn-C battery for supercapacitor electrode application.

ABSTRACT: Manganese oxide (Mn₃O₄) nanomaterials have promising potential to be used as supercapacitor electrode materials due to its high energy storage performance and environmental compatibility. Besides, every year huge volume of waste batteries including Zn-C battery ends up in landfill, which aggravates the burden of waste disposal in landfill and creates environmental and health threat. Thus, transformation of waste battery back into energy application, is of great significance for sustainable strategies. Compared with complex chemical routes which mostly apply toxic acids to recover materials from Zn-C battery, this study establishes the recovery of Mn₃O₄ particles via thermal route within 900 °C under controlled atmosphere.
