Abstract

A simple hydrothermal method was developed for the synthesis ofpyrolosite β-MnO₂ nanorods, using potassium permanganate (KMnO₄), manganese sulfate (MnSO₄.H₂O) and oxalic acid (H₂C₂O₄). The effects of the reaction time, the hydrothermal temperature and the amount of H₂C₂O₄ on the structure and the morphology of the final products were studied. The β-MnO₂ nanorods are up to several micrometers in length and about 37 nm in average diameter. The samples were analyzed through X-ray diffraction (DRX), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and Raman spectroscopy. Electrochemical measurements of thin film of β-MnO₂ nanorods have revealed reversible redox behavior with charge-discharge cycling processes corresponding to reversible cations intercalation/deintercalation into the crystal lattice. This process is easier for the small Li⁺ to the larger Na⁺ one and to the largest K⁺ cation.
