Applications of Manganese Oxide Powder

(Applications of Manganese Oxide Powder)

manganese oxide powder is a fine, dark brown powder with particles ranging in size from 40 to 60nm. It is highly useful as a nanomaterial and has various applications in multiple industries.

Characterized by a unique chemical reactivity, this nanomaterial is particularly useful in the development of voltage measurement devices and for producing biosensors as a voltage-sensitive material. It is also an excellent component for a variety of other commercial and academic uses.

The reactivity of the manganese oxide powder has been demonstrated to be very useful in the synthesis of a wide range of nanomaterials with different functionalities such as antimicrobial, photovoltaic and fuel cell materials. This is due to the high surface area that the manganese oxide powder possesses which makes it ideal for a variety of applications where very high surface areas are required.

A variety of different oxidation states are present in manganese compounds such as a-Mn2O3 and b-Mn3O4 as well as c-Mn2O3 and d-Mn3O4. Most of the crystalline forms of manganese oxides exist in the (II) oxidation state.

Indium-doped manganese oxide materials were synthesized and investigated for their catalytic activity in the oxygen reduction reaction using linear sweep voltammetry. Results showed that manganese oxide doped with indium is a strong electrocatalyst for the oxygen reduction reaction.
