| description | Manganese oxide minerals have a remarkable range of applications. This investigation delves into their potential utility in energy storage, particularly as supercapacitors. The study centers on natural manganese oxides sourced from the Drama region (Greece), evaluating their electrochemical promise and devising strategies for addressing the remediation of mining waste sites. Samples were collected from abandoned mining sites at Kato Nevrokopi area, Drama region. Techniques such as X-ray diffraction (XRD) were employed to probe the structural characteristics of the minerals. Electrochemical studies involved the preparation of electrodes using natural and heat-treated nsutite (hausmannite). Then, the designed electrodes were subjected to cyclic voltammetry tests and charge-discharge measurements. Results showed superior electrochemical performance for the hausmannite-based electrode due to its greater structural homogeneity. |
