title: α-MnO2 nanowires as building blocks for the construction of 3D macro-assemblies.
abstract: A 3D macro-assembly with α-MnO(2) nanowires as flexible building blocks was obtained by a simple hydrothermal method. The sample with an interconnected open porous structure shows excellent mechanical strength, selective adsorption of cationic dyes and some certain types of toxic heavy metal ions.
