Abstract

Mn3O4 spinel oxide was synthesized precipitating Mn(NO3)2 in aqueous solution with NH4OH. Reactions were performed with a constant molar ratio Mn2+:OH -=1:2.5 (Mn2+ as a limiting reagent), using microwave radiation during the crystallization step and varying the synthesis atmosphere (air or nitrogen). In presence of air a pure Mn3O4 spinel structure was obtained whereas if nitrogen was used, a small amount of Mn oxide-hydroxide (hydrohausmannite) was synthesized with Mn3O 4.
