Abstract

Nanocrystalline Mn3O4 hausmannite has been easily prepared from manganese(II) acetate tetrahydrated, dissolved in a mixture of N,N’-dimethylformamide (DMF) and water (10%) at room temperature, without post-treatment of heating. Stability of the Mn3O4 colloidal dispersion was monitored by UV-visible electronic absorption spectroscopy. X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) pattern demonstrates its good phase purity. Analysis by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) image shows homogeneous nanorods with a narrow size distribution, being the average diameter and length of 6.58 nm and 17.44 nm, respectively. Moreover, the facility of the hausmannite nanorods to adhere to glass wall in this solvent mixture has allowed the formation of thin films which were analyzed by atomic force microscopy (AFM).
