Applications

Energy Storage and Conversion

Lithium-Ion Batteries (LIBs): Manganese oxide nanoparticles are used as cathode materials in LIBs, offering high energy density, stability, and low cost compared to conventional materials. They improve battery performance by enhancing the charge/discharge cycles and energy storage capacity.

Supercapacitors: MnOₓ nanoparticles enhance the performance of supercapacitors by improving charge storage and providing high power output. Their high surface area facilitates efficient ion absorption and rapid charge/discharge cycles, making them ideal for energy storage devices.

Fuel Cells: MnOₓ nanoparticles serve as electrocatalysts for oxygen reduction reactions (ORR) in fuel cells, improving the efficiency of energy conversion in hydrogen and methanol fuel cells, and reducing dependence on expensive platinum-based catalysts.

Catalysis

Environmental Catalysis: MnOₓ nanoparticles act as catalysts in the degradation of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) in air purification systems. Their catalytic properties help reduce air pollution by breaking down harmful gases into less toxic substances.

Water Treatment: MnOₓ nanoparticles are employed for removing toxic heavy metals (e.g., arsenic, lead, cadmium) and organic pollutants from water, helping in water purification processes and environmental cleanup.

Organic Synthesis: They are used as catalysts for oxidation reactions in organic chemistry, improving the production of fine chemicals and pharmaceuticals.

Biomedical Applications

Antibacterial and Antifungal Properties: MnOₓ nanoparticles, particularly MnO₂, exhibit antibacterial and antifungal activities, making them useful in medical applications such as wound healing and infection prevention.

Drug Delivery: Due to their biocompatibility and high surface area, MnOₓ nanoparticles are explored for targeted drug delivery, particularly for anticancer therapy. They can encapsulate drugs and release them in controlled environments (e.g., acidic tumor sites).

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI): MnOₓ nanoparticles can act as contrast agents in MRI, enhancing the clarity of scans for medical diagnostics, including imaging of tumors and other internal diseases.
