A Designed Single-Step Method for Synthesis and Structural Study of Organic-Inorganic Hybrid Materials: Well-Ordered Layered Manganese Oxide Nanocomposites

A fast and single-step method was successfully developed toward synthesizing well-ordered organic-inorganic hybrid layered manganese oxide (LMO) nanocomposites and Keggin/organic ions intercalated into layered manganese oxide at room temperature in 1 day. The ordering of layered structures is highly dependent on pH and drying conditions. The Keggin/organic intercalated LMO shows improved thermal stability of the layered structure over that of hybrid LMO.
