Graphene/Mn3O4 composites were prepared by a simple hydrothermal process from KMnO4 using ethylene glycol as a reducing agent. Mn3O4 nanorods of 100 nm to 1 mu m length were observed to be well-dispersed on graphene sheets. To assess the properties of these materials for use in super-capacitors, cyclic voltammetry and galvanostatic charging discharging measurements were performed. Graphene/Mn3O4 composites could be charged and discharged faster and had higher capacitance than free Mn3O4 nanorods. The capacitance of the composites was 100% retained after 10 000 cycles at a charging rate of 5 A/g.
