Abstract
Novel mesoporous MnO2/SnO2 catalysts were successfully synthesized via traditional and ultrasonic co-precipitation methods. Moreover, their catalytic efficiencies were evaluated in decomposition of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Interestingly, it was found that the mixing of MnO2 with SnO2 catalyst led to a significant improvement in their catalytic efficiencies compared with single oxides catalysts. However, the influence of ultrasonic power and irradiation time on MnO2/SnO2 nanomaterials were compared to get optimum synthetic condition. Subsequently, the catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), N2 adsorption-desorption analysis and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM). Results represented that the effect of ultrasonic power and irradiation time on MnO2/SnO2 catalysts exerted a great influence on the BET surface area and average particle diameter. Furthermore, the results showed that the best catalytic efficiency was obtained for the mesoporous MnO2/SnO2 catalyst which is sonicated at power of 60% for 30 min as optimum conditions. Finally, the outcomes appeared that the catalysts synthesized by ultrasonic co-precipitation method were more efficient than those synthesized by traditional co-precipitation in catalyzing H2O2 decomposition.
