1.1 Background Developing efficient energy conversion devices that are in line with the
conservation of the natural environment is a critical challenge for modern society. Fossil …

With increasingly strict environmental regulations and greater awareness of the need for
environmental protection, much attention has been given to air pollution caused by diesel …

Catalytic reaction active site tends to be the structural defects, such as edges, corners, ribs
and other position that has low coordination number. Here, the potassium (K+) type …

A novel template-free oxalate route was applied to synthesize mesoporous manganese
oxides with high surface area (355 m2 g− 1) and well-defined mesopores which can be …

Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have attracted enormous research interest as
precursors/templates to prepare catalytic materials. However, the effect of structural …

In the present work, nanowire morphologies of α-MnO2, cobalt monodoped α-MnO2, Cu and
Co bidoped α-MnO2, and Ni and Co bidoped α-MnO2 samples were prepared by a facile …

A cryptomelane-type manganese oxide octahedral molecular sieve with a (2× 2, 4.6 Å× 4.6
Å) tunnel size (OMS-2) efficiently catalyzed aerobic oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural …

The dynamic structures of a highly disordered manganese oxide catalyst (HDMO) and
intermediates were thoroughly studied from precursor to working catalyst. Excellent CO …

Mn-Ce catalysts were prepared by a one-step synthesis method using citric acid, and were
characterized by X-ray diffraction, CO temperature-programmed reduction, laser Raman …

X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was employed to characterize the surface
composition, atoms' chemical state and electronic structure of oxalates MeC 2 O 4· nH 2 O …
