Towards high-quality manganese oxide catalysts with large surface areas

The octahedral molecular sieve (OMS-1) is a very powerful manganese oxide-based catalyst, and researchers have found a remarkably simple way to synthesize it. By using a low-crystallinity precursor and a straightforward solid-state transformation method, they managed to produce high-quality OMS-1 nanoparticles. Their unprecedented catalytic performance and durability prove the potential of this novel synthesis approach for developing efficient catalysts and functional materials.
