Manganese Oxide Mesoporous Structures: Mixed-Valent Semiconducting Catalysts

Abstract

Hexagonal and cubic phases of manganese oxide mesoporous structures (MOMS) have been prepared by means of the oxidation of Mn(OH) 2 . The hexagonal MOMS materials form a hexagonal array of pores with an open porous structure, thick walls (1.7 nanometers), and exceptional thermal stability (1000°C). The walls of the mesopores are composed of microcrystallites of dense phases of Mn 2 O 3 and Mn 3 O 4 , with MnO 6 octahedra as the primary building blocks. The calcined hexagonal MOMS have an electrical conductivity of 8.13 × 10 −6 per ohm·centimeter, an average manganese oxidation state of 3.55, and a band gap of 2.46 electron volts. Catalytic oxidations of cyclohexane and n -hexane in aqueous solutions in a batch reactor show conversions of ∼10 and ∼8 percent, respectively. Characterization and catalytic data suggest that MOMS systems show significant enhancement in thermal stability with respect to octahedral molecular sieve materials.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
