A straightforward O/W emulsion route has been used to fabricate hierarchical manganese oxide nanostructures using ethyl ether(EE) as co-solvent, In the emulsion, the “Baeyer test for unsaturation” reaction quickly occurs between KMnO4 and oleic acid at the O/W interface. The main advantage of adding ethyl ether is to reduce the amount of oleic acid and to simplify greatly the washing process of the products. The as-obtained products were characterized by SEM, TEM and XRD measurements. The morphology and size of products could be controlled by adjusting the volume ratio of OA/EE, the molar ratio of KMnO4/OA, the volume ratio of oil phase/water phase and the reaction temperature. In the range of OA/EE volume ratio of 10:0~3:7, honeycomb manganese oxide nanoparticles were obtained. When the molar ratio of KMnO4/OA was less than 1:1, honeycomb mangnese oxide nanoparticles were also obtained. When thevolume ratio of oil phase/water phase was greater than 2:75, manganese oxide nanopletes and their aggregates were produced. The increase of reaction temperature within a narrow range have no effect on the morphology of product. Based on the experimental observations, a plausible formation mechanism via continuous collapse self-assembly of nanoplatelets was proposed.
