In this study, manganese oxide was coated on a graphite electrode by immersion. Durations for immersion were varied to control the amount of manganese oxide coated onto the electrode surface. Maximum capacitance of 556mFcm−2 was obtained in 0.5M LiCl and with better/superior conditions (immersion time=80min and potential scan rate=10mVs−1). In addition, cyclic voltammograms of the prepared electrode at different potential scan rates exhibited the approximately rectangular and symmetric current–potential characteristics of a capacitor. Furthermore, the chronopotentiometry (CP) charge–discharge curves of the electrode prepared at 80min of immersion time with a constant current of 1mA were symmetric and similar isosceles triangles, which demonstrate its high electrochemical reversibility and good stability. Finally, under scanning electron microscope (SEM), the surface of the electrode prepared at 80min of immersion time and after 1500 cycles of potential cycling revealed that numerously three-dimensional network of macropores appeared on large spherical grains.
