| Abstract | Herein, we report a facile electrochemical synthesis of an Au–MnO2 nanocomposite highly dispersed on an electrophoretically prepared graphene surface for the first time. Fascinatingly, we obtained a nanowires-like morphology for the MnO2 by using a simple in situ electrochemical deposition method. The as-synthesized Au–MnO2–graphene nanocomposite is characterized by various analytical and spectroscopic techniques viz. SEM, EDX, TEM, XRD, Raman spectroscopy and XPS. The as-prepared nanocomposite is employed in an electrochemical supercapacitor and for the sensitive detection of epinephrine. The supercapacitor performance is evaluated in 0.5 M NaOH by both cyclic voltammetry (CV) and galvanostatic charge–discharge (GCD) methods. The MnO2 : Au ratio during deposition plays a vital role to influence the capacitance properties. The highest specific capacitance of 575 F g−1 for 1 : 0.01 (MnO2 : Au) at a current density of 2.5 A g−1 has been obtained. The effect of current density, MnO2 : Au ratio, scan rate, mass loading and electrolyte concentration were also optimized and good cycle stability was demonstrated. The comparison of specific capacitance over MnO2–graphene and Au–MnO2–graphene nanocomposites suggests that the incorporation of Au nanoparticles on MnO2–graphene surfaces has a highly substantial effect for enhancement of capacitive behaviour. Furthermore, the epinephrine sensor performance of an Au–MnO2–graphene nanocomposite modified glassy carbon electrode is evaluated by CV and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) techniques. Interestingly, the DPV sensor exhibited a very low detection limit of 24 nM and an excellent current sensitivity value of 35.6 μA μM−1 cm−2, surpassing several related modified electrodes and demonstrating several practical industrial applications. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
