摘要

In this study, a series of layered δ-MnO2 catalysts were synthesized via a novel, rapid, and facile self-combustion technique (SCT), which enables autonomous catalytic activity without requiring external energy input. Among the prepared catalysts, the MnO2-C sample, synthesized using citric acid as fuel, exhibited superior catalytic performance for toluene oxidation, achieving 50% (T50 = 237 °C) and 90% (T90 = 252 °C) conversion of 1000 ppm toluene at notably low temperatures. Extensive characterization revealed that the exceptional catalytic activity of MnO2-C stems from its large specific surface area, outstanding low-temperature reducibility, abundant lattice oxygen and oxygen vacancies, and efficient oxygen species cycling. These properties collectively facilitate the low-temperature oxidation of toluene. This work not only advances the development of high-performance non-precious metal catalysts for volatile organic compound (VOC) abatement but also demonstrates significant potential for industrial-scale applications.
