| Abstract | Cd and Mn nanomaterials engineered have become promising in the two fields of energy storage and catalytic systems. This paper provides a detailed comparison of the electrochemical and catalytic activity of pure CdO, pure MnO2, and Cd -Mn nanocomposites synthesized through the controlled precipitation and calcination techniques. These materials were described by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The storage performance of energy was estimated by measuring lithium-ion battery (LIB) and supercapacitor, and the catalytic performance was estimated by measuring oxidative degradation of model organic pollutants in ambient conditions. Cd-Mn composite nanomaterial showed a high level of specific capacitance of 310 F/g at 1 A/g current density, which is better than CdO of 180 F/g and MnO2 of 240 F/g. The Cd-Mn composite was found to have a reversible specific capacity of 380 mAh/g in battery usage and exhibited catalytic degradation efficiency of 88 and 84 with organic dyes and nitro-aromatic compounds, respectively. This was due to the synergistic effect of Cd and Mn components, growth in the surface area (72-98 m 2/G), and electron transfer kinetics. These findings demonstrate that Cd-Mn nanomaterials are an efficient multifunctional material that can solve energy and environmental problems at the same time. |
