Abstract

δ-MnO₂/o-MWCNTs were synthesized by coating MnO₂ spontaneously on oxidized multi-walled carbon nanotubes via simple immersion of the o-MWCNTs into KMnO₄ solution. This catalyst comprising the outer region of catalytic MnO₂ and the inner region of highly conductive o-MWCNTs enhanced photocatalytic water oxidation activity.
