The morphology of the MnO nanostructures 2 2 Accepted 1 June 2012 can be readily controlled by the solution acidity. Furthermore, we demonstrate that, serving Available online 15 June 2012 as a free-standing supercapacitor electrode, this novel three-dimensional hybrid gives a remarkable specific capacitance (560 F/g at the current density of 0.2 A/g) and excellent cycling stability.
