Ag+-coordination-driven rapid self-assembly of α-MnO2 nanowire building blocks into 3D porous macroscopic architectures for enhanced selective catalytic oxidation of ammonia

Key Points

• Enhanced selective catalytic oxidation of ammonia was observed with 3D porous structures.
• The 3D architectures were formed rapidly through Ag+ coordination-driven self-assembly of α-MnO2 nanowires.
• This study employed nanowire building blocks to create highly effective catalytic surfaces.
• The findings suggest significant implications for improving ammonia oxidation processes.
