Abstract

We report here the direct synthesis of a hexagonal form of manganese dioxide using mild hydrothermal methods. The reaction of potassium or sodium permanganate in water at 170°C leads directly to potassium or sodium manganese dioxide, Alk≈0.25MnO2·0.6H2O, with a R3m rhombohedral structure like Lix(H2O)TiS2 and a 7 Å repeat distance indicative of a monolayer of water between the manganese dioxide layers. This manganese oxide reacts readily and reversibly with lithium ions.
