In this work, three types of MnO2 nanostructures, viz., microsphere/nanosheet core−corona hierarchical architectures, one-dimensional (1D) nanorods, and nanotubes, have been synthesized employing a simple hydrothermal process. The formation mechanisms have been rationalized. The materials have been...
