Stirring-assisted hydrothermal synthesis of ultralong α-MnO2 nanowires for oxygen reduction reaction†
Abstract
Ultralong MnO2 nanowires were synthesized through a facile hydrothermal treatment of bulk MnO2 along with magnetic stirring. Compared with commercial MnO2 powders, the synthesized nanowires exhibited higher catalytic activity and stability toward the oxygen reduction reaction.
