Abstract:
Uniform MnO2 nanorods were synthesized successfully via a facile and effective hydrothermal approach. Scanning electron microscope images showed that the average diameter of the as-synthesized nanorod is about 30 nm and the length of that is about 5 μm, respectively. Photocatalytic experimental results indicate that Congo red can be degraded nearly completely (over 97%) after visible light irradiation of 120 min, demonstrating potential applications of such nanorod structures for wastewater purification.
