General description

Manganese(II) carbonate is a chemical compound that has a structure similar to calcite, with octahedral co-ordination symmetry. It is a carbonate that is insoluble in water and on treatment with acid it gives water soluble salts. It is a widely used material in plant fertilization as an additive that cures the magnesium deficiency in crops.

Application

Manganese(II) carbonate can be used as:      
  • A primary electrode material in asymmetric supercapacitors for improving the charge storage capacity and overall performance of the supercapacitors.      
  • A precursor for synthesizing manganese oxide, which is used as a component in various electrochemical applications, including batteries and supercapacitors.    
  • A precursor material in the synthesis of oxygen vacancy-rich nitrogen-doped manganese carbonate (MnCO2@N) microspheres. These microspheres are then employed as cathode materials in aqueous zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs) to enhance their electrochemical performance.
  • A potential electrocatalyst for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in water splitting applications.

The morphology- and size-controlled synthesis of MnCO3 nanocrystals was successfully achieved by cationic surfactant-CTAB-microemulsion-mediated solvothermal method. Various comparison experiments with different reactant concentrations and molar ratios between water and CTAB, showed the evolvement law of the morphology and size of

Multifunctional manganese carbonate microspheres with superparamagnetic and fluorescent properties were fabricated and used as biological labels. The Fe(3)O(4)@MnCO(3) microspheres were synthesized by direct co-precipitation without any linker shell. The Fe(3)O(4)@MnCO(3) microspheres have uniform size distribution and rough surface, which provides
