Article Abstract

We present a one-step synthesis process for ultrathin non-crystalline MnO2 nanosheets. Their thickness is about 2 nm and the width varies from 5 to 20 nm. They induce a higher capacitance than zero-dimensional spheres or one-dimensional rods. When heat treated at elevated temperature MnO2 nanosheets partly grow into crystalline Mn2O3 rods.

Introduction: Manganese-oxidizing bacteria (MOB) play a critical role in converting soluble Mn(II) to insoluble Mn(III/IV) oxides, which have been widely applied for environmental remediation, particularly in heavy metal pollution control. Therefore, the discovery of novel MOB strains is of great significance for advancing pollution mitigation and ecosystem restoration.

Methods: In this study, a manganese-oxidizing bacterial strain was isolated from Mn-contaminated soil near an electroplating factory using selective LB medium supplemented with 10 mmol/L manganese chloride (MnCl), and the Leucoberbelin Blue (LBB) assay was employed to screen and identify strains with strong Mn(II)-oxidation ability.

Eu-MOF with rhomboid structure and strong fluorescence was successfully synthesized in this work. By combining fluorescent Eu-MOF with peroxidase mimic MnO nanosheets, a novel ratiometric fluorescence sensing method was developed for the sensitive detection of piceatannol (PCT), a naturally occurring stilbene-type polyphenolic compound. The sensing mechanism relies on the strong antioxidant ability of PCT, which reductively decomposes MnO nanosheets into Mn and results in the attenuation of the fluorescence intensity of the o-phenylenediamine (OPD) oxidation product and the concomitant recovery of Eu-MOF fluorescence.

Manganese dioxide (MnO)-based heterogeneous catalysts have gained significant attention in nanozyme research due to their exceptional oxidase-mimicking capabilities. This work reports the rational design of MnO functionalized magnetic carbon nanotubes (FeO@C@MnO) through a multistep synthesis strategy. The magnetic N-doped hollow carbon substrate (FeO@C) was first synthesized via controlled pyrolysis of FeOOH-coated polydopamine precursors.

This study aims to design and evaluate a two-dimensional TiC-MXene contrast agent, codoped with iron and manganese, with the aim of achieving T/T dual-mode magnetic resonance imaging contrast, and to investigate its effect on Chemical Exchange Saturation Transfer (CEST) contrast agents. Single-layer TiC was synthesized via the HCL/LiF etching technique, with the flake size subsequently tailored and the hydroxylated surface modified through a hydrothermal process. FeO nanoparticles and MnO nanosheets were integrated onto the two-dimensional TiC-MXene surface using an in situ doping approach, and the final modification was achieved with carboxymethyl chitosan.
