In-situ fabrication of manganese ferrite grafted polyaniline nanocomposite: A magnetically reusable visible light photocatalyst and a robust electrode material for supercapacitor

Herein, we reported the in-situ preparation of manganese ferrite (MnFe₂O₄) grafted polyaniline (Pani), a magnetic nanocomposite for the potential visible light photocatalytic material as well as electrode material for supercapacitor. The physical characterization of the prepared nanoparticle and nanocomposite was examined with various spectroscopic and microscopic analyses. The peaks observed in the X-ray diffraction study confirm the face-centered cubic phase of MnFe₂O₄ nanoparticles with a grain size of ∼17.6 nm. The surface morphology analysis revealed the uniform distribution of spherical-like MnFe₂O₄ nanoparticles on the surface of Pani. The degradation of malachite green (MG) dye under exposure to visible light was investigated using MnFe₂O₄/Pani nanocomposite as a photocatalyst. The results exposed the faster degradation of MG dye was accomplished by MnFe₂O₄/Pani nanocomposite than MnFe₂O₄ nanoparticles. The energy storage performance of the MnFe₂O₄/Pani nanocomposite was analyzed through cyclic voltammetry, galvanostatic charge/discharge, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy analyses. The results exposed that the MnFe₂O₄/Pani electrode achieved a capacitance of 287.1 F/g than the MnFe₂O₄ electrode (94.55 F/g). Further, the respectable capacitance of 96.92% was achieved even after 3000 repetitive cycles stability . Based on the outcomes, the MnFe₂O₄/Pani nanocomposite can be suggested as a promising material for both photocatalytic and supercapacitor applications.

Modified cobalt-manganese oxide-coated carbon felt anodes: an available method to improve the performance of microbial fuel cells

The novel MnCo₂O₄ (MCO/CF), CNTs-MnCo₂O₄ (CNTs-MCO/CF) and MnFe₂O₄-MnCo₂O₄ (MFO-MCO/CF) electrodes were prepared on carbon felt (CF) by simple hydrothermal and coating method as anodes for MFC. The modified anodes combine the electrocatalytic properties of transition metal oxides (TMOs), the high electrical conductivity of CNTs and the good biocompatibility of CF. These anodes play a synergistically role in the synthesis of structural, to realize high-efficiency electron transfer, low resistance and sufficient space for microbial colonization, while also ensuring high power density. The maximum power density of the composite electrodes CNTs-MCO/CF and MFO-MCO/CF were 4268 mW/m³ and 3660 mW/m³, respectively. The synergistic effect of multi-component effectively improves the performance of MFC. This work not only offers a good design and preparation concept for functional TMOs composite electrodes, but also provides an important guide for the fabrication of CNTs-doped MFC anodes.
