Cover Story: This study aims to quantify the synergistic effect of Ni2+ and Mn2+ ions on the capacitive performance of oxide, hydroxide, and phosphate electrodes in alkaline electrolytes. Three types of phases containing both nickel and manganese in a ratio of one-to-one were selected due to their stability in alkaline media: oxides with ilmenite and spinel structures; hydroxides with layered structures; and phosphates with olivine and maricite structures. A comparative analysis of oxides, hydroxides, and phosphates enabled us to differentiate the effects of nickel and manganese ions, structures, and morphologies on their capacitive performance. Thus, the best-performed electrode was predicted. This was an ilmenite NiMnO3, which delivers high energy and power density and exhibits good cycling stability. View this paper
