In this work, the perovskite LaMnO3 material has been prepared based on the sol-gel process of synthesis with the participation of combustion. According to the X-ray phase analysis, it was determined that the obtained material consists of LaMnO3 one phase (space group Pm-3m). Nevertheless, it has been determined that the average size of the coherent scattering region of the obtained material is about 24 nm. Moreover, the average particle size is 40-60 nm in case the approximation that the particles are spherical shape. Thus, it has been determined that the specific surface area of the material is 42.1 m2/g. The electrochemical investigations have been performed using nanosized LaMnO3 powder as a cathode material for electrochemical capacitors. The LaMnO3 material under research showed a specific capacity of 40 F/g at a discharge of up to 1V.
