Synthesis and Characterization of Superfine Nanostructure Manganese Dioxide Spontaneously Coated onto Carbon Nanotubes

Abstract:

Manganese dioxide nanostructered (MnO₂) was coated onto carbon nanotubes (CNTs) by simple immersion of the CNTs into a KMnO₄ aqueous solution. The morphology of the CNTs before and after MnO₂ deposition was examined using field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). The superfine coral-like MnO₂deposited and fully covered on the CNTs surface at pH 8. At pH 2 and 6 the MnO₂deposited as the superfine nanorod structure. The superfine MnO₂ phase was identified as Birnessite-type MnO₂ by X-ray powder diffraction and FESEM. The thermal stability of the superfine nanostructure MnO₂ coated CNTs is increase based on the TGA with the weight loss of 4% at 400°C to 900°C.
