Mesoporous MnO2 with a specific surface area of 523 m2 g−1 is prepared.
PPy nanofilm is CVD-deposited on the surface of mesoporous MnO2.
The as-prepared composite maintains the micrographs and pore/channel structure.
The sample shows a high specific capacitance of 320 F g−1 and a long cyclic stability.
An assembled ASC exhibits a high energy density of 38.6 Wh kg−1 at 0.5 A g−1.
