alpha-MnO2 single-crystal nanorods with diameters 20-80 nm and lengths up to 6 microns have been prepared through a low-temperature liquid-phase comproportionation method, which involves no catalysts or templates and may be adjusted to prepare alpha-MnO2 single-crystal nanorods in large scale.
Wang et al. (Tue,) studied this question.
