Title: Surface and Structural Investigation of a MnO x Birnessite‐Type Water Oxidation Catalyst Formed under Photocatalytic Conditions

Abstract

Abstract Catalytically active MnO x species have been reported to form in situ from various Mn‐complexes during electrocatalytic and solution‐based water oxidation when employing cerium(IV) ammonium ammonium nitrate (CAN) oxidant as a sacrificial reagent. The full structural characterization of these oxides may be complicated by the presence of support material and lack of a pure bulk phase. For the first time, we show that highly active MnO x catalysts form without supports in situ under photocatalytic conditions. Our most active 4 MnO x catalyst (∼0.84 mmol O 2  mol Mn −1  s −1 ) forms from a Mn 4 O 4 bearing a metal–organic framework. 4 MnO x is characterized by pair distribution function analysis (PDF), Raman spectroscopy, and HR‐TEM as a disordered, layered Mn‐oxide with high surface area (216 m 2 g −1 ) and small regions of crystallinity and layer flexibility. In contrast, the S MnO x formed from Mn 2+ salt gives an amorphous species of lower surface area (80 m 2 g −1 ) and lower activity (∼0.15 mmol O 2  mol Mn −1  s −1 ). We compare these catalysts to crystalline hexagonal birnessite, which activates under the same conditions. Full deconvolution ofmore » the XPS Mn2p 3/2 core levels detects enriched Mn 3+ and Mn 2+ content on the surfaces, which indicates possible disproportionation/comproportionation surface equilibria.« less
