摘要

This work reports the synthesis of manganese ferrite@biomass carbon@activated carbon (MnFe2O4@BC@AC) and manganese ferrite@biomass carbon (MnFe2O4@BC) composites using rice straw (RS) extract as a green solvothermal medium. The rice straw-derived extract serves simultaneously as a solvent and a natural reducing/chelating agent during the formation of MnFe2O4@BC, while activated carbon (AC) provides a highly porous conductive matrix. Comprehensive structural and morphological characterization confirmed the successful incorporation of MnFe2O4 nanoparticles within the carbon framework. Electrochemical performance was evaluated in a three-electrode configuration using 6 M KOH over a potential window of 0.0–0.5 V. The MnFe2O4@BC@AC composite delivered a high specific capacity of 73.6 mA h g-1 at 1 A g-1, outperforming the pristine MnFe2O4@BC (54.2 mA h g-1). At 10 A g-1, the composite retained 38.3% of its initial capacity, compared to 35.6% for the pristine material. These results demonstrate that integrating activated carbon significantly enhances charge transport and overall electrochemical performance, making MnFe2O4@BC@AC a promising candidate for high-performance supercapacitor electrodes.
