| Abstract: | In this work, pristine TiO 2 and Mn 3 O 4 /TiO 2 composite thin films [Mn 3 O 4 /TiO 2 -1 and Mn 3 O 4 /TiO 2 -2] were successfully synthesized on fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) substrates via a hydrothermal method and systematically evaluated for supercapacitor applications. Comprehensive structural, optical, and electrochemical characterizations were performed using XRD, Raman spectroscopy, SEM-EDS, UV–Vis spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry (CV), galvanostatic charge–discharge (GCD), and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The Mn 3 O 4 /TiO 2 -2 composite exhibited reduced crystallite size, enhanced visible-light absorption, lower Urbach energy, and a distinct "pompom flower" morphology with increased porosity compared to pristine TiO 2 and Mn 3 O 4 /TiO 2 -1. EDS analysis further verified the successful incorporation of Mn 3 O 4 into the TiO 2 matrix, confirming the purity and intended composition of the composite thin film. Electrochemically, the composite Mn 3 O 4 /TiO 2 -2 demonstrated a superior specific capacitance of 790 Fg-1 in 1 M KOH and 431 Fg-1 in 1 M Na 2 SO 4 , outperforming TiO 2 electrodes (592 Fg-1 and 148 Fg-1, respectively). Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy demonstrated the strong interfacial interaction and efficient ion diffusion within the Mn 3 O 4 /TiO 2 heterostructure by revealing fast charge-transfer kinetics for Mn 3 O 4 /TiO 2 -1 and improved pseudocapacitive behavior for Mn 3 O 4 /TiO 2 -2.These results establish Mn 3 O 4 /TiO 2 thin films as efficient and durable electrode materials, with strong potential for advanced supercapacitor technologies.
