Abstract
This paper describes the catalytic activity of various forms of manganese dioxides towards volatile organic compounds deep oxidation. Important differences in activity are evidenced for very closely related structures; the most active sample is a high surface area nsutite. A parallel is drawn between the findings in the literature of battery applications and the catalytic activity results. The superior activity of nsutite is attributed to a different oxygen coordination and to the clustering of cationic vacancies in the bulk which improves electronic and protonic conductivity.
