The supercapacitive properties of manganese oxides (MnO_x) are strongly affected by their crystal structure. Nevertheless, the relationship between the crystal structure and supercapacitive performance of MnO_x is elusive. Herein, a temperature-controlled fabrication method was developed to achieve MnO₂, Mn₃O₄, MnO and Mn₂O₃ microspheres with various crystal structure as electrode materials tunable for supercapacitors. The detailed material and electrochemical characterizations revealed the structure-activity relationship of MnO_x microspheres by systematically investigating the effect of valence state, specific surface area, conductivity and morphology on supercapacitive performance. Among these MnO_x materials, nanoneedle-like MnO₂ delivered a relatively high specific capacitance of 274.1 F/g at 1 A/g due to a high Mn valence state of +4, a large specific surface area of 113.4 m²/g and a desirable electronic conductivity of 1.73 × 10^–5 S/cm. Furthermore, MnO₂ presented a remarkable cycle stability with 115% capacitance retention after 10,000 cycles owing to the enhancement of wettability. This work not only provides a facile strategy to modulate MnO_x crystal structure, but also offers a deep understanding of structure-dependent supercapacitive performance of MnO_x.
