Abstract
We report a simple and effective method for the generation of bulk-quantity nanorods of manganese oxide, Mn3O4, under surroundings of a suitable surfactant and alkaline solution. It is found that the Mn3O4 nanorod is smooth, straight, and that the geometrical shape is structurally perfect, which is produced with lengths from several hundreds nanometers to a few micrometers, and diameters range from 10nmto30nm. We amazedly found that the dripping speed of the NaOH solution plays an important role in formation of bulk-quantity Mn3O4 nanorods. The difference of dripping speed of the NaOH solution leads to a large difference of Mn3O4 morphologies, which is observed in the transmission electron microscopy images. The growth of the Mn3O4 nanorods is suggested first to follow a self-catalyzed solution-liquid-solid mechanism.
