We report a rapid and facile synthesis of MnCO3 with uniform mesopores for supercapacitor applications. Mesoporous MnCO3 was synthesised by a co-precipitation method using MnSO4 and (NH4)HCO3 as manganese and carbonate source, respectively. Powder X-ray diffraction study confirmed the formation of rhodochrosite phase of MnCO3. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopic study ascertained the oxidation state of Mn as 2+ in MnCO3. Scanning and Transmission electron microscopic studies revealed that nanograins of size less than 10 nm agglomerated into submicron sized spherical particles of MnCO3. N2 sorption studies displayed a typical type-IV isotherm with H2 hysteresis, demonstrating mesoporosity of as-prepared MnCO3. Furthermore, the mesoporous MnCO3 particles were evaluated for their capacitance properties by cyclic voltammetry and galvanostatic charge-discharge cycling in aqueous 0.1 M Mg(ClO4)2 electrolyte. The fabricated mesoporous MnCO3 electrodes delivered a specific capacitance of 144 F g-1 at a current density of 0.34 A g-1. It also exhibited good rate capability, high reversibility and cyclic stability over 1000 cycles.

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is one of the most daunting diseases, low toxicity and efficient approaches are in urgent demand. Herein, we developed degradable mesoporous manganese carbonate nanocubes (MnCO NCs), incorporated with survivin shRNA-expressing plasmid DNA (iSur-pDNA) and riboflavin (Rf), namely MRp NCs, for synergistic TNBC therapy. The MnCO, itself, could generate O and CO under HO and thus relieve the hypoxia and acidic tumor microenvironment (TME).

A novel nitrogen-containing graphitic mesoporous carbon was prepared through MnO-templated method using polyacrylonitrile (PAN) as both carbon and nitrogen sources, and MnCO as both template and catalyst precursors. The effects of preparation conditions on the physicochemical properties of obtained samples were systematically investigated. The results showed that as the decrease of the weight ratios of PAN and MnO (2:1-1:4), the increase of carbonization temperature (700-900 °C) and pre-oxidation temperature (180-200 °C), the samples had higher specific surface area, mesopores volume and ratios, up to 507 m/g, 0.

Three-dimensional (3D) MnO porous hollow microspheres (δ- and α- MnO PHMSs), with high adsorption and catalytic ozonation performance, were synthesized by a self-template (MnCO microspheres) process at room temperature. The synthesized MnO PHMSs were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electronic microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area. The results showed that PHMSs exhibit the excellent adsorption ability and catalytic activity owning to their hollow spherical structure, mesoporous shell and well-defined interior voids, leading to the strong adsorption for bisphenol A (BPA) and the retention of O molecules on catalyst.
