Manganese Oxide Ion-Sieves. (2). Electrochemical Host-Guest Reactions.

Single-step synthesis of manganese oxide octahedral molecular sieves with large pore sizes.

A facile single-step method was developed for synthesizing todorokite-type manganese oxide octahedral molecular seieves (OMS-1) and 2 x 4 tunnel structured manganese oxide (OMS-5) materials. Selection of starting materials and initial pH conditions in the syntheses are crucial.

Electrochemical properties of iron oxide nanoparticles as an anode for Li-ion batteries

The synthesis of iron oxide nano-particles by direct thermal decomposition was studied. Simultaneous thermal analysis and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy results confirmed the formation of iron-urea complex, and disclosed iron oxide formation mechanism. Calcination of the iron-urea complex at 200°C and 250°C for 2 hrs. resulted in the formation of maghemite along with hematite as a seco...

Todorokite-type manganese oxide nanowires as an intercalation cathode for Li-ion and Na-ion batteries

Selective electrochemical sensing of acidic organic molecules via a novel guest-to-host proton transfer reaction.

Ferrocene-containing amidopyridine receptors bind carboxylic acids and the amino acid phenylalanine in acetonitrile via a novel proton transfer process that enables guests to be electrochemically sensed by positive shifts in the ferrocene-centred redox potentials.
