Abstract
The α-MnO2 nanorods were successfully prepared by hydrothermal methods at 160°C for 48h. X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were employed to characterize the morphology and microstructure of the final product. The results show that the final product is the pure tetragonal α-MnO2 phase with rod-like nanostructure in diameters 30nm and lengths up to 0.5–1μm. The dielectric and the electrical properties of the α-MnO2 nanorods were also analyzed and discussed at a range of the temperature from 223K to 393K. The dielectric constants and dielectric loss tangents both increase with the rising temperature and decrease with frequency. The electrical resistivity values also decrease with the rising temperature and frequency. It is also found that the dielectric loss of α-MnO2 mainly results from the space polarization and the temperature dependence of resistivity follows the Arrhenius Equation.
