Preparation of rGO/MnO Composites through Simultaneous Graphene Oxide Reduction by Electrophoretic Deposition.

We report the preparation of manganese dioxide (MnO) nanoparticles and graphene oxide (GO) composites reduced by an electrophoretic deposition (EPD) process. The MnO nanoparticles were prepared by the electrolysis of an acidic KMnO solution using an alternating monopolar arrangement of a multiple-electrode system. The particles produced were γ-MnO with a rod-like morphology and a surface area of approximately 647.
