High-capacitance MnO2 nanoflakes on preformed C/TiO2 shell/core nanowire arrays for electrochemical energy storage.

Highlights: [•] MnO2/C/TiO2 shell/shell/core arrays electrode has been prepared by simple thermal reaction and electrodeposition method. [•] The unique shell/shell/core structure has easy access of electrolyte ions, large surface to volume and high electrochemical activity. [•] The MnO2/C/TiO2 shell/shell/core arrays exhibits high specific capacitance of 639 F g−1 at a charge/discharge current density of 1 A g−1. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
