α[email protected] (NaMnO) and [email protected] (KNaMnO) nanocomposites have been synthesized using solid-state reaction method. FESEM results convey the formation of column-shaped morphology. FTIR exhibited a shift in the vibration frequency upon potassium loading. Cyclic voltammetric curves are scanned (0 V–0.8 V) at different scan rates (5 mV/s to 100 mV/s) in 1M KOH electrolyte. Galvanostatic charge-discharge characteristics, for different current densities, have shown non-linear or pseudocapacitive characteristics of the prepared electrodes. High specific capacitance of ∼361 F/g and ∼143 F/g, at a current density of 1A/g, has been achieved for KNaMnO and NaMnO samples, respectively. KNaMnO sample exhibited higher capacitive retention (116 %), up to 2000 cycles, and obeys lower series resistance, charge transfer resistance, and Warburg impedance parameters, thus, convey higher efficiency of this compound for supercapacitor applications.
