Abstract:
The morphology of manganese oxide (MnO) nanoparticles significantly affects their properties and various applications. In this paper, we report controllable synthesis and characterization of MnO nanoparticles (3 nm, 6 nm, 10 nm, 20 nm) through the high-temperature decomposition approach. Our results showed that the reaction temperature, the amount of surfactants and solvent affect the size of the nanoparticles. MnO nanoparticles size increases with temperature and solvent content.However,increase of surfactants leads to decrease in the particle size. Finally, we modified the MnO nanoparticles with CTAB, DMSA and dopamine to render their aqueous solubility, which is essential for their biological applications.
