Structural properties and thermal stability of cobalt- and chromium-doped α-MnO2 nanorods
α-MnO2 nanorods were synthesized via the hydrothermal decomposition of KMnO4 in an acidic environment in the presence of Co2+ and Cr3+ ions. Reactions were carried out at three different temperatures: 90, 130 and 170 °C. All prepared samples exhibit a tetragonal MnO2 crystalline phase. SEM–EDS analy...
