Abstract

Manganese dioxide nanomaterials have wide applications in many areas from catalysis and Li–ion batteries to gas sensing. Understanding the crystallization pathways, morphologies, and formation of defects in their structure is particularly important but still a challenging issue. Herein, we employed an arsenal of X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), neutron diffraction, positron annihilation spectroscopies, and ab initio calculations to investigate the evolution of the morphology and structure of α-MnO 2 nanomaterials prepared via reduction of KMnO 4 solution with C 2 H 5 OH prior to being annealed in air at 200–600 °C. We explored a novel evolution that α-MnO 2 nucleation can be formed even at room temperature and gradually developed to α-MnO 2 nanorods at above 500 °C. We also found the existence of H + or K + ions in the [1 × 1] tunnels of α-MnO 2 and observed the simultaneous presence of Mn and O vacancies in α-MnO 2 crystals at low temperatures. Increasing the temperature removed these O vacancies, leaving only the Mn vacancies in the samples.
