The manganese oxide birnessite adsorbed and catalyzed the transformation of the anthelminthic drug niclosamide (NIS) into 2-chloro-4-nitroaniline (CNA) and 5-chlorosalicylic acid (CSA) at acidic pH. The adsorption of NIS was fitted using a linear isotherm for all conditions and reaction times. Linear adsorption constant K was 103 000 L kg at pH 5.0. The rate of transformation was first order with respect to both MnO and NIS. At pH 5.0, the second order rate constant was 3.3 (±0.3) × 10 M s. The adsorption constants and the rates of transformation decreased when pH increased from 4.0 to 5.5 because of increasing electrostatic repulsions between both negatively charged manganese oxide surface (pH = 2.5) and NIS (pKa = 6.38). The presence of natural organic matter (NOM) extracted from surface water also significantly decreased the adsorption and the rates of transformation of NIS. The rate of transformation decreased by a factor of 20 in presence of 1.6 mgC L even though significant amounts of NIS were adsorbed onto MnO. The interactions between NOM and NIS were investigated by using the fluorescence quenching method and would explain that NIS adsorbed on the surface of manganese oxide was stable in presence of NOM. Thus, hydrolysis catalyzed by manganese oxide is probably not an important process compared to biodegradation and adsorption because of the presence of organic matter and pH values usually >5.5 in aquatic environment.

The stimulator of interferon genes (STING) pathway exhibits great potential in remodeling the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment and initiating antitumor immunity. However, how to effectively activate STING and avoid undesired toxicity after systemic administration remains challenging. Herein, platinum(IV)-backboned polymer prodrug-coated manganese oxide nanoparticles (DHP/MnONP) with pH/redox dual responsive properties are developed to precisely release cisplatin and Mn in the tumor microenvironment and synergistically amplify STING activation.

Rice husk, a byproduct of rice production, poses significant environmental challenges due to disposal issues, while the emission of volatile organic compounds into the atmosphere further exacerbates these concerns. This study addresses both problems by exploring the potential of texturally enhanced SiO, derived from Uruguayan rice husk, as a catalytic support for manganese oxides in the combustion of volatile organic compounds. SiO was synthesized from rice husk ash using a sustainable, acid-free pretreatment method, yielding a notably high silica purity of 96.

LiMnO, a significant cathode material for lithium-ion batteries, has garnered considerable attention due to its low cost and environmental friendliness. However, its widespread application is constrained by its rapid capacity degradation and short cycle life at elevated temperatures. To enhance the electrochemical performance of LiMnO, we employed a liquid-phase co-precipitation and calcination method to incorporate Cr into the LiMnO cathode material, successfully synthesizing a series of LiCrMnO (x = 0~0.

Manganese(IV) (Mn(IV)) reduction coupled with ammonium (NH-N) oxidation (Mnammox) has been found to play a significant role in the nitrogen (N) cycle within natural ecosystems. However, research and application of the autotrophic NH-N removal process mediated by manganese oxides (MnOx) in wastewater treatment are currently limited. This study established autotrophic NH-N removal sludge reactors mediated by various MnOx types, including δ-MnO (δ-MSR), β-MnO (β-MSR), α-MnO (α-MSR), and natural Mn ore (MOSR), investigating their NH-N removal performances and mechanisms under different initial N loading and pH conditions.

Spinel lithium manganese oxide (LiMnO, LMO) is a promising cathode material with nontoxicity, high operating voltage, and low cost. However, structural collapse during battery cycling ─ caused by Mn dissolution and the Jahn-Teller effect ─ is a critical disadvantage, reducing cycle retention, particularly at high temperatures. In this study, to solve these critical issues, we introduce Cu(HITP) (CuHITP; HITP = 2,3,6,7,10,11-hexaiminotriphenylene), a conductive two-dimensional (2D) metal-organic framework (MOF) as a surface coating material.
