title: Controlled Synthesis of Highly Crystallized Mesoporous Mn2 O3 and Mn3 O4 by Using Anionic Surfactants.
abstract: Mesostructured manganese oxide (Mn3 O4 ) is prepared by a soft-templating method employing sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) as a structure-directing agent. By removing the template from the as-prepared mesostructured Mn3 O4 by extraction or calcination, we successfully synthesized highly crystallized mesoporous Mn3 O4 or Mn2 O3 , respectively, with different crystalline structures.
