Nanosized Ni-Mn oxide powders have been successfully prepared by thermal decomposition of the Ni-Mn citrate gel precursors. The powder materials derived from calcination of the gel precursors with various molar ratios of nickel and manganese at different temperatures and time were characterized using thermal analysis (TG-DSC), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Brunauer-Emmet-Teller (BET). The optimized processing conditions of calcination at 400℃ for 1 h with Ni/Mn molar ratio 6 were proved to produce the nanosized Ni-Mn oxide powders with a high specific surface area of 109.62 m2/g and nanometer particle sizes of 15～30 nm. The capacitance characteristics of the nanosized Ni-Mn oxide electrode in various concentrations of KOH solutions were studied by the cyclic voltammetry (CV) and exhibited both a doublelayer capacitance and a Faradaic capacitance which could be attributed to the electrode consisting of Ni-Mn oxides and residual carbons from the organic gel thermal decomposition. A specific capacitance of 194.8 F/g was obtained for the electrode at the sweep rate of 10 mV/s in 4 mol/L KOH electrolyte and the capacitor showed quite high cyclic stability and is promising for advanced electrochemical capacitors.

Several factors affecting the ζ-potential of nanodiamonds were studied. The Chemical Mechanical Modification (CMM) of surface, different surfactants and its dosage, and inorganic ions on the ζ-potential of nanodiamond sample L were studied using ZETASIZER3000HS and Nexus470. Results show that the ζ-potential changes with its parameters of detonation synthesis and purification. Results also suggest that CMM and subsequent treatments employed can alter apparently the ζ-potential and that some anionic surfactants increase the absolute value of the ζ-potential in the alkaline surrounding.
