TL;DR: In this paper, a hydrothermal process has been used to synthesize manganese oxides of various crystalline structures and morphologies, such as α-, β-, γ-MnO2, MnOOH and Mn3O4.

TL;DR: In this article, a facile reduction method was proposed to enhance the catalytic activity of OMS-2 by producing more oxygen vacancy and creating an active interface between the main phase MnO 2 and the minor phase Mn 3 O 4.

TL;DR: In this article, three-dimensional α-MnO2 microspheres with high specific surface area were synthesized via a homogeneous catalytic reaction using Ag+ as catalyst at relatively low temperature.

TL;DR: In this article, two different types of three-dimensional (3D) radial α-MnO 2 (dandelion- and urchin-like) catalysts are readily fabricated via two different redox reactions through the hydrothermal method, and their electrocatalytic activities are studied for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER).

TL;DR: The preparation of a free-standing membrane with strong mechanical stability and flexibility through a facile vacuum filtration approach and a variety of composite membranes exhibiting various novel properties including magnetism and reversibly switchable wettability between hydrophilicity and hydrophobicity are reported.
