Abstract
Fe-MnO2 nanocomposite was prepared via a redox–precipitation method combined with a subsequent aging treatment at low-temperature. Various characterizations showed that Fe was incorporated into MnO2 lattice that changed the relative intensity of MnO2 crystal planes. Thus, the structural defect was formed and the anisotropic growth of the MnO2 crystallite phase was suppressed. As a result, the morphology of MnO2 was transformed from nanowires to nanoparticles. In addition, the catalytic property of Fe-MnO2 was significantly enhanced than that of pristine MnO2 for the complete oxidation of o-xylene. This work provides a simple and effective strategy for regulating MnO2 texture and activity.
