Growth Mechanism and Morphology Control of Porous Hexagonal Plates of Hydrohausmannite Prepared by Hydrothermal Method

Abstract:

Porous hexagonal plates of hydrohausmannite were prepared by a simple hydrothermal method. Morphology control of the product was easily achieved by adjusting the experimental parameters. The selected area electron diffraction (SAED) patterns show obvious evidence that these hexagonal plates were formed by oriented aggregation-based growth of subunits, which is discussed in details. Intriguing well-shaped hexagonal pores were obtained when the hexagonal plates were exposed to high intensity electron beam irradiation. These hexagonal plates of manganese oxide may have wide applications as components and/or interconnect in nanodevices and/or as nanotools.
