Mn3O4

Manganese oxide (II,III) nanoparticles

Mn3O4 is found in nature as the mineral hausmannite and it has a spinel structure, where the oxide ions are cubic close packed.

We at Particular Materials synthesize nano Mn3O4 and we produce dispersions with excellent stability, monodispersity and fully disaggregated state.

Technical Information

Some of the main properties are:

In order to be able to take advantage of the various properties of Mn3O4  nanoparticles, significant care needs to be taken in controlling size, monodispersity and crystalline structure.

Related Applications and Industries

Mn3O4 has been found to act as a catalyst for a range of reactions, for example the oxidation of methane and carbon monoxide, the decomposition of NO, the reduction of nitrobenzene and the catalytic combustion of organic compounds.

Other key applications of Mn3O4 nanoparticles are as follows:

  • Wastewater treatment
  • Antimicrobial and bactericidal
  • Biosensor
  • Biomedical applications
  • Energy storage devices
