Abstract:

Mn₃O₄ nanowires were synthesized by calcination of a precursor obtained in a novel microemulsion. Transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, infrared spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and selected area electron diffraction were used to characterize the structural features and chemical compositions of the as-synthesized nanowires. The results showed that the as-prepared nanowires are composed of tetragonal Mn₃O₄, the diameters range from 50 to 800 nm, and lengths reach tens of micrometers. The nanowires are highly promising for applications in magnetic materials and sensors.
