α-MnO2 nanowires as building blocks for the construction of 3D macro-assemblies

Chem Commun (Camb). 2012 Jun 14;48(47):5925-7. doi: 10.1039/c2cc32162a. Epub 2012 May 3.

Abstract

A 3D macro-assembly with α-MnO(2) nanowires as flexible building blocks was obtained by a simple hydrothermal method. The sample with an interconnected open porous structure shows excellent mechanical strength, selective adsorption of cationic dyes and some certain types of toxic heavy metal ions.
