Summary: | Abstract
This study introduces a novel electrode material featuring a core‐shell intercalation structure. The material was synthesized using a simple and scalable method suitable for industrial replication. The outer layer of the electrode material comprises polyaniline, enveloping a nuclear structure composed of manganese dioxide and nickel oxide. This core‐shell configuration is then integrated into the lamellar structure of graphene oxide, resulting in the formation of PANI@(MnO

+ NiO)@GO composite. The combination of polyaniline, metal oxides, and graphene oxide demonstrates robust adsorption capacity, leading to the development of a three‐dimensional stable structure between the core and the shell. Additionally, graphene oxide contributes to the bilayer capacitance of the composites, resulting in simultaneous multiple synergistic effects and improved charge storage capacity. Electrochemical characterization reveals exceptional properties of this composite material, exhibiting a specific capacitance of 396 F g
