The relationship among the beta-MnO2 nanorod preparation conditions, morphology and catalytic performance on H2O2 decomposition has been investigated in the work. beta-MnO2 nanorod catalysts were prepared by heating different gamma-MnOOH nanorod precursors at 250-450 degrees C. They were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and nitrogen adsorption. The experimental results indicate that gamma-MnOOH nanorod precursors prepared at higher hydrothermal temperature make final beta-MnO2 nanorods uniform. The catalytic performance on H2O2 decomposition shows that beta-MnO2 nanorod catalysts have excellent catalytic activity on the decomposition of H2O2, which has not been reported to our knowledge. beta-MnO2 nanorods which were prepared by calcining gamma-MnOOH precursors at 250 C have higher catalytic activity than those at higher calcination temperatures. The reaction of H2O2 decomposition over beta-MnO2 nanorod catalysts was found to follow first-order kinetics. (c) 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
