A way called "Deep electro-oxidation" was used to generate manganese dioxide coated layer for stabilizing the electrode material. The structure and ingredient of the resulting MnHCF/MnO2 composites were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy. Electrochemical testing showed a capacitance of 225.6 F/g at a sweep rate of 5 mV/s within a voltage range of 1.3 V, and high energy density of 37.2 Wh/kg at a current density of 0.5 A/g in galvanostatic charge/discharge cycling. It is suggested that the two different components, manganese hexacyanoferrate core and manganese dioxide shell, lead to an integrated electrochemical behavior, and an enhanced capacitor. The electrochemical testing and corresponding XPS analysis also demonstrated that the manganese coordinated by cyanide groups via nitrogen atoms in MnHCF did not get involved in the charge storage process during potential cycles.展开更多

The results reveal that the prepared core-shell nanoparticles were covered by Co shell and exhibited the similar electrochemistry property with the Co nanoparticles surface. Surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy（SERS） activities of these nanoparticles were studied by using pyridine as a probe molecule. It was found that the SERS intensity depended on the Co shell thickness of the core-shell nanoparticles and was weakened with the increasing shell thickness. The SERS intensity of these AucoreCoshell nanoparticles is found to be about twenty times higher than that obtained on an electrochemically roughened cobalt electrode.展开更多
