Manganese oxides have received much attention from materials scientists due to their widespread applications including electrodes, catalysts, sensors, supercapacitors, and biomedicine. Further ...

CORRECTION: This story was updated on Jan. 21, 2016, to correct the accidental labeling of manganese oxide as MgO. Solid catalysts have a reputation for being tricky to make and control.

The octahedral molecular sieve (OMS-1) is a very powerful manganese oxide-based catalyst, and researchers from Tokyo Tech have found a remarkably simple way to synthesize it. By using a low ...

News Release 28-May-2019 Scientists develop surface acidity -- and selectivity-tunable manganese oxide catalyst Peer-Reviewed Publication Chinese Academy of Sciences Headquarters ...

An easy-to-prepare catalyst consisting of isolated metal atoms embedded at various points across functionalized graphene sheets can carry out a key step in water splitting, according to a study ...

When O 3 interacts with a metal oxide (Mn/TiO 2), O 3 is decomposed by the following reactivity formula on the surface of manganese, generating reactive oxygen species, i.e., oxygen radical.

Materials scientist Andrej Singer and chemist Héctor Abruña led a research team that investigated a cost-effective alternative: a cobalt-manganese oxide catalyst. The researchers employed advanced ...

This is why in the search for a better catalyst, he and his team looked at mixed cobalt and manganese oxides. Cobalt oxides can be active for the required reaction but corrode very quickly in the ...

A University of Illinois team of researchers led by chemistry professor M. Christina White has developed a new manganese-based catalyst that can change the structure of druglike molecules to make ...

(Nanowerk News) Plants use photosynthesis to convert carbon dioxide and water into sugars and oxygen. The process starts in a cluster of manganese, calcium and oxygen atoms at the heart of a protein ...

“The high currents led to a number of problems such as physical decomposition of the catalyst.” Eventually, the team overcame these issues by trial and error, and discovered an active and stable ...

Now, Ailong Li, also of the CSRS, Ooka and their co-workers have discovered a stable catalyst, gamma manganese oxide (γ-MnO 2), for proton-exchange membrane electrolysis cells that is about a million ...
