Preparation of Nanosized Manganese Oxide Particles via Solid-State Route Reaction

Abstract

nanosized manganese oxide particles are attracted considerable interest in many industry areas especially in energy storage device applications because of their unique properties. For industry large scale synthesis, it needs a simple and low energy technique for scaling up production process. In this work, nanosized manganese oxide particles were prepared via a solid-state reaction route at room temperature. The products were characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) coupled with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction infrared spectroscopy (XRD), and raman spectroscopy. The results show that the sizes of particles were smaller than 50 nm with narrow size distribution and high yield were obtained. In addition, this technique may be applicable to industry production of nanosized manganese oxide or nanosized manganese oxide composite.
