Effect of cation insertion on the stability of gliding arc plasma-precipitated mesoporous MnO2 dye bleaching catalysts
α-MnO2 and γ-MnO2 polymorphs were, respectively, obtained from the plasma precipitation of KMnO4 and Mn(CH3COO)3⋅2H2O precursors. The obtained powders were calcined at 150 °C, 210 °C and 400 °C, and characterized...
