Nanostructured manganese oxides as highly active catalysts for enhanced hydrolysis of bis(4-nitrophenyl)phosphate and catalytic decomposition of methanol

Abstract

The nanostructured manganese oxides (MnOx) exhibited high catalytic activities for hydrolysis of phosphate diester-based substrate bis(4-nitrophenyl)phosphate and decomposition of methanol to carbon monoxide and hydrogen as a potential alternative fuel.
