Summary:A facile solid-phase conversion route is proposed to fabricate a micro-framework of α-MnO2 with a nanofibrous structure and high porosity.The fabrication is achieved by a three-step process using a preformed manganese tartrate with a rectangular framework as the precursor followed by thermal annealing and hydrothermal oxidation to form the final nanofibrous structure.Evolution of the phase and the morphology are characterized by FESEM,XRD,TG-DTA,and TEM measurements.The electrochemically active material α-MnO2 exhibits both attractive stability of the Coulombic efficiency after long-term cyclic charging/discharging and acceptable specific capacitance.
