“…, K ? ) and in which water is present in between any two adjacent sheets, and (2) octahedral molecular sieve (OMS) materials constructed by the edge and corner shared octahedral MnO 6 (Ma et al 2006;Suib 2008) that find potential applications in the field of cation-exchange, ion and molecule separation, adsorbents, sensor, battery, catalysis (Ma et al 2006;Suib 2008;Feng et al 1999;Feng 2010), etc., Manganese oxide materials have been used for a wide range of catalytic applications in both synthetic chemistry and environmental problems, such as degradation of dyes, organic pollutants, waste water treatment, nitric oxide reduction, ozone decomposition and selective oxidation of CO (Shen et al 1993;Segal et al 1997;Zhang et al 2006;Chen et al 1997Chen et al , 2001Kannan et al 2011;Xia et al 1999).…”
