Thermal optimization of manganese dioxide nanorods with enhanced ORR activity for alkaline membrane fuel cell

Abstract In this study, pristine MnO2 catalyst was synthesized by hydrothermal technique and annealed at 400 and 600°C (MnO2@400°C and MnO2@600°C) transforming it into nanorods in a nitrogen atmosphere. The heat treatment process ameliorates the catalytic activity of the MnO2 catalyst by inducing ox...
