Reactivity of Nanostructured MnO2 in Alkaline Medium Studied with a Microcavity Electrode: Effect of Oxidizing Agent

Abstract

Abstract: The synthesis of MnO₂ powders by hydrothermal method with different oxidizing agents has been successfully achieved. The characterizations by scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray analyses, transmission electron microscopy, and X-ray diffraction techniques confirm the synthesis of nanostructured γ-MnO₂ powders. The electrochemical reactivity of these powders in 1 mol/l KOH is investigated by cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) by using microcavity electrode. The results reveal that the MnO₂ synthesized with Na₂S₂O₈shows the highest electrochemical reactivity in the test medium. This is due both to its large expanded surface area and its crystallographic variety γ-MnO₂ formed in the
matrix of ramsdellite, which is largely used as cathodic material for primary batteries. However, the presence of pyrolusite in the structure of γ-MnO₂ synthesized with (NH₄)₂S₂O₈ decreases its electrochemical reactivity due to its narrow 1×1 size tunnel, which hinders the protons insertion.

Key words: Hydrothermal processing, Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), Cyclic voltammetry, X-ray diffraction; γ-MnO₂
