Engineered Nanoconfinement Accelerating Spontaneous Manganese-Catalyzed Degradation of Organic Contaminants

Shuo Zhang et al.

Summary: Manganese(III/IV) oxide minerals have been found to degrade organic pollutants in nature, but the kinetics are too slow for practical water treatment processes. By confining nanoscale Mn3O4 particles to 3-5 nm, the degradation kinetics of pollutants can be significantly accelerated, nearly 3 orders of magnitude faster than in the unconfined bulk phase. The acceleration is attributed to the increased surface area of catalysts exposed to the reaction and the local proton concentration at the Mn3O4 surface.
