The characteristics of the fibrous MnO2 electrode are examined by electrochemical Received in revised form 16 May 2011 impedance spectra, galvanostatic performance and cyclic voltammetry. The experimental results indicate Accepted 17 May 2011 that the fibrous MnO2 electrodes are superior to pasted electrodes because of the following: (i) better Available online 26 May 2011 contact between MnO2 and the electrical conducting material; (ii) high charge-transfer rate because of a smaller diameter than conventional electrodeposited MnO2 particles (thus it is expected that the Keywords: specific surface area would be higher); and (iii) a low overpotential.
