Research in the Ching Group focuses on developing new synthetic routes to porous manganese oxides and studying their catalytic activity. Manganese oxides take on a variety of structures and ...

Porous manganese oxides have been prepared by a facile self-assembly method. Butyric acid to is used generate a morphology that has nanoplatelets of the material aggregating into hollow spheres. Such ...

Some are porous solids, such as the platinum, rhodium and palladium meshes that remove nitrogen oxide from automobile exhaust ... Still others are naturally occurring solids, such as manganese or iron ...
