MnO2 powders with micro/nano spheres simple, quick and low-temperature hydrothermal method and microrods for supercapacitors were synthesized via a Their preparation process was optimized by orthorhombic test and single factor experiment. The crystalline structure, surface morphology and supercapacitive properties of the as-prepared MnO2 powders were studied by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and electrochemical measurement. Experimental results show that the optimal reaction conditions are the reaction temperature of 150 ℃, the KMnO4/MnCl2 molar ratio of 2.5:1.0, the reaction time of 3 h, and the filling factor of 40%. Under the optimal conditions, the as-prepared MnO2 powders have typical α-MnO2 structure with hollow and porous micro/nano spheres and microrods. The α-MnO2 micro/nano sphere diameter is about from 0.2 to 0.8 μm, while the a-MnO2 microrods have the diameter of 30 nm and the length of 5 μm.
