Abstract

α-MnO2 nanorods were obtained by a fast redox transformation of aqueous solution of potassium permanganate. The formation mechanism of 1D nanocrystals proceeds via a first pH- and temperature sensitive stage followed by cation/anion control of the nanorod growth. A high surface area and nanostructuring allowed to achieve superb catalytic activity in a CO oxidation process compared to a conventionally prepared manganese dioxide.
