Microstructures and Spectroscopic Properties of Cryptomelane-type Manganese Dioxide Nanofibers

Abstract: Cryptomelane-type manganese dioxide (K-MnO 2 ) nanofibers with typical diameters of 20-60 nm and lengths of 1-6 µm were prepared by reacting KMnO 4 with MnSO 4 under hydrothermal conditions. Rietveld refinement from synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction data showed that the K-MnO 2 nanofibers crystallize in a bodycentered tetragonal structure (space group I4/m) with unit cell parameters a ) 9.8241(5) Å and c ) 2.8523(1) Å and elongate along the <001> direction. The K-MnO 2 nanofibers had a mean chemical composi… Show more

“…With the increase in the temperature to 750°C, the weight loss increases to 6.6, 5.4 and 4.66 % (for K-OMS-2RS, K-OMS-2RC and K-OMS-2RA, respectively), which is due to the release of the water molecules inside the tunnels, besides the desorption of the structural oxygen close to the surface (related with the formation of lattice vacancies without decomposition of the material). A weight loss of *1.0, 3.0 and 2.3 % at 750-950°C, and 2.6, 3.1 and 2.5 % at up to 950°C occurred on using K-OMS-2RS, K-OMS-2RC and K-OMS-2RA, respectively, which implies the transformation of cryptomelane to bixbyite (Mn 2 O 3 ) and then to hausmannite (Mn 3 O 4 ) species [23,24], with total weight loss 15.20, 16.40 and 13.06 %. The total weight loss for acetate material (Fig.…”
