Manganese dioxide (-MnO₂) and graphene oxide (GO nanocomposites were prepared and successfully characterized using Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR), field emission scanning-electron microscopy (FE-SEM), and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) mapping methods and Xray diffraction (XRD) analyses. This reagent is an efficient catalyst for the aerobic oxidation of trimethylsilyl (TMS), tetrahedropyranyl (THP), and methoxymethyl ethers (MOM) to their corresponding carbonyl compounds in the presence of K₂CO₃. All reactions were performed in -hexane under mild and completely heterogeneous reaction conditions. Our novel method has the advantages of excellent yields, short reaction times, availability and reusability of the catalyst and simple and easy work-up procedure compared to the conventional methods reported in the literature.

Mn is an essential cation extensively utilized in various industrial processes, including electrolytic manganese production, manganese dioxide manufacturing, and zinc processing. It also poses significant environmental challenges as a primary pollutant in Mn-containing wastewater and hazardous materials. Effective monitoring and control of Mn in these processes are vital for improving resource conversion efficiency and minimizing pollutant production.

Seawater splitting is increasingly recognized as a promising technique for hydrogen production, while the lack of good electrocatalysts and detrimental chlorine chemistry may hinder further development of this technology. Here, the interfacial engineering of manganese dioxide nanoparticles decorated on NiFe layered double hydroxide supported on nickel foam (MnO@NiFe LDH/NF) is reported, which works as a robust catalyst for alkaline seawater oxidation. Density functional theory calculations and experiment findings reveal that MnO@NiFe LDH/NF can selectively enrich OH and repel Cl in oxygen evolution reaction (OER).

Manganese dioxide (MnO) is a well-known pseudocapacitive material that has been extensively studied and highly regarded, especially in supercapacitors, due to its remarkable surface redox behavior, leading to a high specific capacitance. However, its full potential is impeded by inherent characteristics such as its low electrical conductivity, dense morphology, and hindered ionic diffusion, resulting in limited rate capability in supercapacitors. Addressing this issue often requires complicated strategies and procedures, such as designing sophisticated composite architectures.

Semiconductor metal oxide gas sensors are widely used to detect ethanol vapours, commonly used in industrial productions, road safety detection, and solvent production; however, they operate at extremely high temperatures. In this work, we present manganese dioxide nanorods (MnO NRs) prepared via hydrothermal synthetic route, carbon soot (CNPs) prepared via pyrolysis of lighthouse candle, and poly-4-vinylpyridine (P4VP) composite for the detection of ethanol vapour at room temperature. MnO, CNPs, P4VP, and MnO NRs-CNPs-P4VP composite were characterised using scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, powder X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and Raman spectroscopy.

Immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) therapy has revolutionized cancer treatment. However, abnormal tumor vasculature and excess lactate contribute to tumor immunosuppression and confer resistance to ICB therapy, seriously limiting its clinical application. Here, we have developed a bioresponsive nanoreactor, ALMn, which consists of hollow manganese dioxide nanoparticles with encapsulation of lactate oxidase and L-Arginine, to overcome immunosuppression and sensitize ICB therapy.
