Direct synthesis of nanocrystalline, spherical α-Mn2O3 particles by mechanochemical reduction

Synthesis and Transport Properties of Nanostructured VO2 by Mechanochemical Processing

“…Comparable mechanochemically induced crystallisations of amorphous Mn 2 O 3 and SnO 2 were reported previously in our earlier studies [18,19].…”

“…High energy milling of precursor powders leads to the formation of a nanoscale composite structure, which reacts during milling to form a mixture of separated nanocrystals of the desired phase within a soluble salt matrix, which is removed by water washing [16][17][18][19]. Herein, we report a facile mechanochemical synthesis of nanostructured VO 2 .…”

Chemical synthesis and characterization of Mn3O4 thin films for supercapacitor application

“…Manganese dioxide (MnO 2 ) can be used as a catalyst in oxidation-reduction reactions, as electrode materials in batteries, and in energy storage devices such as ultracapacitors [5]. The dimanganese trioxide phase (Mn 2 O 3 ) is quite attractive owing to its applications to produce soft magnetic materials [6] to catalyze the removal carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxide from waste gas [7,8] and in the catalytic combustion of methane [9]. The hausmannite phase, Mn 3 O 4 , has also been shown to possess electrochromic properties [10].…”

Pyrolysis of a Three‐Dimensional MnII/MnIII Network To Give a Multifunctional Porous Manganese Oxide Material

“…However, Mn 2 O 3 is also known to display different kinds of catalytic activity and also pseudo-capacitance, but it has been rather less investigated. [24][25][26][27][28][29][30] Herein we report a new way of preparing porous Mn 2 O 3 , starting from a 3D network of a coordination complex built up from a mixed-valent Mn II …”
