Ultrasound-Assisted one-Pot Synthesis of Dispersable Nano-MnO₂ in the Presence of Nanocellulose

Abstract:

One-step rapid synthesis of colloidal nano-MnO2 suspension from KMnO4 solution has been readily carried out in the presence of nanocellulose whiskers (NCW) upon a sonochemistry procedure at room temperature. NCW that plays a triple role of a reducing agent and a support, as well as of a stabilizer, has been introduced to obtain stable dispersions of MnO2 nanoparticles. UV-vis spectroscopy, XRD, and TEM were employed to characterize the products. Uniform α-MnO2 nanoparticles of dimensions 20–30 nm were obtained with good crystalinity and phase-purity by air- calcination treatment at 500 °C.
