| Abstract: | Single-crystalline nanorods of γ-MnOOH (manganite) phase with diameters of 120 nm and lengths of 1100 nm have been prepared using a new cluster growth route under low-temperature hydrothermal conditions starting from [Mn12O12(CH3COO)16(H2O)4]·2CH3COOH·4H2O or [Mn12O12(C2H5COO)16(H2O)3]·4H2O without any catalyst or template agents. The so-obtained nanorods were studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD), infrared (IR) spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy and high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). Their thermal conversion opens an access to Mn3O4 (hausmannite) and β-MnO2 (pyrolusite) nanorods, respectively, under argon or air atmosphere. A coercive field of 12.4 kOe was obtained for the Mn3O4 nanorods. |
