In recent years, manganese dioxide has become a research hotspot as an electrode material because of its low price. However, it has also become an obstacle to industrialization due to its low ratio of capacitance and the low rate performance which is caused by the poor electrical conductivity. In this study, a KI solution with electrochemical activity was innovatively applied to the electrolyte...

nanoparticles of manganese-dioxide synthesized by mechano-chemical reaction were used foras(iii) and as(v) sorption from water environment. the influence of a milling time of manganese-dioxide on sorption was examined with batch procedure. sorption as a function of contact time was investigated. kinetic of sorption, for both as(iii) and as(v), was fast. the equilibrium condition for milled sorb...

The modification of carbon powder with manganese dioxide using a wet impregnation procedure with electrochemical characterisation of the modified powder is described. The process involves saturation of the carbon powder with manganese(II) nitrate followed by thermal treatment at ca. 773 K leading to formation of manganese(IV) oxide on the surface of the carbon powder. The construction of compos...

We report a novel design, based on a combination of lanthanide-doped upconversion nanoparticles and manganese dioxide nanosheets, for rapid, selective detection of glutathione in aqueous solutions and living cells. In this approach, manganese dioxide (MnO(2)) nanosheets formed on the surface of nanoparticles serve as an efficient quencher for upconverted luminescence. The luminescence can be tu...

For many years the late Dr. E. W. Smith, and following him Dr. D. P. Smith,47 used manganese dioxide in treating primary dysmenorrhea. Dr. A. L. Pierson"9 has also had success with this drug and has suggested a study of the subject. Long-standing dysmenorrhea, frequently so severe as to make the patient bed-fast for the first days of menstruation, has been completely relieved by the use of mang...

This study presents a novel procedure for accelerating methanogenesis from wastewater by adding elemental manganese into the anaerobic digestion system. The results indicated that elemental manganese effectively enhanced both the methane yield and the production rate. Compared to the control test without elemental manganese, the total methane yield and production rate with 4 g/L manganese addit...
