We have demonstrated a one-step and effective electrochemical method to synthesize graphene/MnO2 nanowall hybrids （GMHs）. Graphene oxide （GO） was electrochemically reduced to graphene （GN）, accompanied by the simultaneous formation of MnO2 with a nanowall morphology via cathodic electrochemical deposition. The morphology and structure of the GMHs were systematically characterized by scanning electron microscope （SEM）, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy （XPS）, X-ray diffraction （XRD）, and Raman spectroscopy. The resulting GMHs combine the advantages of GN and the nanowall array morphology of MnO2 in providing a conductive network of amorphous nanocomposite, which shows good electrochemical capacitive behavior. This simple approach should find practical applications in the large-scale production of GMHs.
