چکیده

Polynuclear manganese complexes are used as precursors for the synthesis of manganese oxide nanoparticles (MnO NPs). Altering the thermal decomposition conditions can shift the nanoparticle product from spherical, thermodynamically-driven NPs to unusual, kinetically-controlled octapod structures. The resulting increased surface area profoundly alters the NP's surface-dependent magnetism and may have applications in nanomedicine.

In this paper, the mer-Co(NH3)3(NO2)3 complex was used as a new precursor for synthesizing spinel-type cobalt oxide nanoparticles (Co3O4NPs).Thermal decomposition of the complex at low temperature (175 °C) resulted in the Co3O4NPs without using expensive and toxic solvents or complicated equipment. XRD, FT-IR, SEM, EDX, and TEM were employed to characterize the product, and its optical and magn...

Shell pressure on the core of MnO/Mn3O4 core/shell nanoparticles

A myriad of core/shell nanoparticles (NPs) have been developed and studied in the last decades aiming at the increase of functionality, stability, dispersibility, biocompatibility, and specific targeting, for instance.1 Shells can also interact synergetically with the core by changing lattice parameters, resulting in strain-engineered materials with tuned, improved, and new properties.2,3 This ...

Oriented Growth of α-MnO2 Nanorods Using Natural Extracts from Grape Stems and Apple Peels

We report on the synthesis of alpha manganese dioxide (α-MnO₂) nanorods using natural extracts from Vitis vinifera grape stems and Malus domestica 'Cortland' apple peels. We used a two-step method to produce highly crystalline α-MnO₂ nanorods: (1) reduction of KMnO₄ in the presence of natural extracts to initiate the nucleation process; and (2) a thermal treatment to enable further solid-state ...
