Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Manganese-cobalt (Mn—Co) spinel oxide nanowire arrays are synthesized at low pressure and low temperature by a hydrothermal method. The method can include contacting a substrate with a solvent, such as water, that includes Mn04- and Co2 ions at a temperature from about 60° C. to about 120° C. The method preferably includes dissolving potassium permanganate (KMn04) in the solvent to yield the Mn04- ions. the substrate is The nanoarrays are useful for reducing a concentration of an impurity, such as a hydrocarbon, in a gas, such as an emission source. The resulting material with high surface area and high materials utilization efficiency can be directly used for environment and energy applications including emission control systems, air/water purifying systems and lithium-ion batteries.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method of making a manganese-cobalt (Mn-Co) spinel oxide nanoarray on a 3-D channeled honeycomb substrate, comprising: contacting the 3-D channeled honeycomb substrate with a solvent consisting essentially of a source of MnO 4 − and Co 2+ ions at a temperature from about 60° C. to about 120° C., wherein the MnO 4 − and Co 2+ ions react in a redox reaction to directly form the manganese-cobalt (Mn-Co) spinel oxide nanoarray on the 3-D channeled honeycomb substrate. 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the source of MnO 4 − ions is potassium permanganate (KMnO 4 ). 3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the source of Co 2+ ions is cobalt nitrate. 4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the cobalt nitrate is cobalt nitrate hexahydrate (Co(NO 3 ) 2 ·6H 2 O). 5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the solvent is water. 6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising varying the concentration of MnO 4 − or Co 2+ ions in the solvent to control deposition rate of the manganese-cobalt spinel oxide nanoarray. 7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising controlling the temperature of the solvent to control deposition rate of the manganese-cobalt spinel oxide nanoarray. 8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the 3-D channeled honeycomb substrate is a cordierite. 9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the contacting step is repeated at least once to increase the thickness of the manganese-cobalt spinel oxide nanoarray.
