γ-MnO2 has been synthesized by hydrothermal process, and studied as electrode material in aqueous asymmetric super-capacitor. We studied the blend formed by electrochemical polymerization of pyrrole deposited onto γ-MnO2 particles. The composite materials (PPy/MnO2) were characterized by different methods including cyclic voltammetry, chronoamperometry, X-ray diffractometry and BET measurements. The specific capacitance at constant current density 2 mA cm−2 was calculated from galvanostatic charge-discharge cycling tests. The asymmetric super-capacitor using (PPy/MnO2) composite material has high specific capacitance of 141.6 F g−1 compared with 73.7 F g−1 for γ-MnO2 before PPy coating. The improvement of the coating is not only due to the electronic conductivity of the polymer, but also due to an increase of the BET surface area that raises to 125 m2 g−1 after coating, against 64 m2 g−1 for pristine MnO2.
