Herein, we reported nanosized Mn oxide/nanodiamond composites as water-oxidizing compounds.
For the first time, using some methods, we showed that under the water-oxidation conditions and in the presence of cerium(iv) ammonium nitrate, some manganese salts are converted to Mn oxide.
A nanosized Mn oxide/boron nitride composite is reported as a catalyst for water oxidation.
Our results show that nano-sized gold has no significant effect on the water-oxidation activity of the Mn oxide phase in the presence of Ce(iv).
We report that nanolayered Mn oxide/C60composites show promising activity toward water oxidation.
