Strong magnetic coupling interactions originating from a short Mn–Mn distance in some heavy Mn2+-doped matrices have important effects on luminescence of single Mn2+ ions and close-knit Mn2+–Mn2+ pairs. However, the intrinsic mechanism of controlling spectral regulation remains elusive since the underlying relationship among Mn–Mn distances, magnetic coupling interactions, and optical properties is unclear. Herein, we create an unusual red emission (620 nm) of Mn2+ in a typical tetra-coordinated lattice of Li2CdGeO4 by simply enhancing the Mn2+-doped level in addition to regular green emission (528 nm). Although the dual emission peaks occupy the same tetra-coordinated crystallographic lattice of CdO4, different temperature-dependent emission behaviors are observed, which expands a possibility in optical thermometry sensors. Detailed Mn–Mn distances are calculated via Rietveld refinement analysis, and their effects on the Mn–Mn coupling interactions are evaluated. Furthermore, the Mn–Mn coupling interaction types are identified through electron spin resonance and magnetic measurements. The continuously decreasing distances between Mn2+ ions strengthen the dipole–dipole coupling effect, resulting in the atypical red emission in a tetra-coordinated lattice environment. These findings elucidate the spectral regulation mechanism from the perspective of magnetic coupling interactions, providing a new pathway to regulate Mn2+-related emission.

Catalyzed oxidative coupling reactions mediated by enzyme have been proposed as an effective remediation strategy to remove micropollutants, however, little is known about how the Mn(II) redox cycling affects the horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-mediated reactions in wastewater treatment . Here, we explored the removal of two pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs), methylparaben (MeP) and acetaminophen (AAP), in HRP-mediated reaction system with dissolved Mn (II). It was found that the conversion rate of AAP was about 284 times higher than that of MeP, and Mn (II) significantly inhibited HRP-catalyzed MeP removal but had little influence on that of AAP. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and theoretical calculations demonstrated that HRP converted Mn(II) into Mn(III), and then generated MnO 2 colloid, which inhibited the removal of the substrates. Moreover, the results of theoretical calculations also showed that the binding energy between HRP and Mn was 27.68 kcal/mol, which was higher than that of MeP (25.24 kcal/mol) and lower than that of AAP (30.19 kcal/mol). Therefore, when MeP and Mn (II) coexisted in the reaction system, HRP preferentially reacted with Mn(II), which explained the different impacts of Mn (II) on the removal of MeP and AAP. Additionally, Mn (II) significantly altered the product distribution by decreasing the amount of polymerization products. Overall, our work here revealed the roles of Mn (II) in the removal of MeP and AAP mediated by HRP, having strong implications for an accurate assessment of the influence of Mn(II) redox cycling on the removal of PPCPs in wastewater treatment.

Passive NO x adsorbers (PNAs) are promising materials for mitigating cold-start NO x emissions, yet their performance is often limited by poor adsorption kinetics and insufficient hydrothermal durability. Herein, we report a triethanolamine (TEOA)-assisted synthesis strategy for Mn/CeZrO x PNAs that enables highly dispersed MnO x species with strengthened Mn-support interactions. Compared with conventionally prepared Mn/CeZrO x , the TEOA-modified materials exhibit (i) faster NO x adsorption rates during the initial cold-start relevant stage, (ii) a higher nitrate formation rate and a more suitable nitrate decomposition window (200–400 °C) in which the downstream selective catalytic reduction unit utilizing Cu-SSZ-13 SCR catalysts typically displays optimized NO x reduction efficiency, and (iii) enhanced hydrothermal stability with reduced MnO x agglomeration after aging. A combination of spectroscopic and microscopic techniques (XPS, UV–vis, DRIFTS, TEM/EDS) reveal that TEOA modulation promotes uniform MnO x dispersion, increases surface O ads species, and shifts MnO x speciation toward more active states. These structural and chemical modifications collectively account for the improved PNA performance. This work demonstrates a simple yet effective synthesis approach to optimize Mn-based PNAs, providing new insights into the design of thermally robust, precious-metal-free cold-start NO x control materials.

The long-term accumulation of manganese sulfate residues can lead to the release of soluble manganese ions, thereby contaminating the surrounding environment. Although numerous methods exist to address the issue of soluble manganese ions, current harmless treatment approaches fail to consider the subsequent utilization of manganese slag. This study aims to control the magnetic properties of processed residues by adjusting the addition of barium hydroxide and the reaction duration. Our results reveal that the harmless treatment of manganese sulfate slag is achievable with various amounts of barium hydroxide, and the magnetic properties of the reconstructed slag increase with the increased barium hydroxide dosage. Magnetic separation is employed to separate the magnetic components from the reconstructed slag, and the distribution state of these magnetic substance is modulated by altering the particle size and reagent addition. Under optimal conditions, this study finds that the grade of iron was 24.17 %, the grade of manganese was 8.08 %, and the recovery could reach 79 % for iron and 70 % for manganese. Finally, the fining slag obtained by magnetic separation was utilized as an additive in the preparation of ferrites, reducing the minimum reflection loss of the ferrites to −16.18 dB, signifying up to 90 % electromagnetic wave attenuation. These findings indicate that the fining slags holds great potential as a dopant for ferrites, offering a viable pathway for the resourceful and environmentally friendly treatment of manganese sulfate residues.

The hydrogen is described as a clean and sustainable alternative to fossil fuels in numerous energy systems. Hydrolysis is an important method for high purity, high volume hydrogen production. In order to accelerate the kinetics of hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in alkaline media, it is essential to explore efficient catalysts. In this paper, the nanoscale self-supported Mn-NiS/Mn-Ni 3 S 4 composite catalysts was assembled on nickel foam. Benefiting from the lattice distortion and vacancy defects caused by the doping of Mn elements, the catalysts exposed an increasing number of electrochemical surfaces and effective active sites, showing impressive electrochemical performance with a HER overpotential of only 94.2 mV at 10 mA/cm 2 and an OER overpotential of only 253 mV to drive 50 mA/cm 2 . Applying as the bifunctional catalysts, the Mn-NiS/Mn-Ni 3 S 4 couple only achieved a low voltage of only 1.52 V to drive 10 mA/cm 2 . This paper provides new ideas and references for the rational design of high-performance sulfide catalysts with non-precious metal composites.

In this research, xylene was utilized as a simulated gas, γ-Al 2 O 3 pellets were selected as catalyst carriers, and FeO x , MnO x , CeO x , and CuO x were used as active components to analyze the synergistic treatment of VOCs–O 3 by low-temperature plasma combined with supported catalysts. Different metal oxides and other factors influence the synergistic treatment of VOCs–O 3 . The results showed that the catalytic effect of Fe–Mn/γ-Al 2 O 3 prepared by the equivalent volumes of consecutive impregnation method was better than that of Fe–Mn/γ-Al 2 O 3 prepared by co-impregnation method. When combined with low temperature plasma technology, high-energy electron collision reaction and oxidation reaction between free radicals occurs, which played a synergistic role in the degradation of VOCs–O 3 . The total removal rate of xylene was 94.88%, and the depletion rate of ozone was 84.1%.

The most crucial part of electrolyzing water lies in the design and preparation of the catalyst. Manganese-doped metal phosphides are often studied as catalysts for water electrolysis due to their outstanding dual-function properties. In this paper, a two-step method of in-situ hydrolysis and low-temperature phosphating is provided to prepare manganese-doped tri-metallic nickel-cobalt-based phosphides ((Mn)CoP 2 /NiCoPs) ultrafine nanoparticles. It is found that the addition of manganese led to a reduction in the unit cell size of NiCoP and CoP 2 in the catalyst. As the amount of manganese element in the raw materials increases, the doping amount of manganese in the catalyst shows an upward trend. In 1 M KOH, (Mn)CoP 2 /NiCoP-2 with the manganese doping content of 0.35 wt% shows the overpotentials of 52 mV for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and 141 mV for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) to achieve 10 mA cm −2 . For total hydrolysis reaction, it requires an overpotential of only 1.50 V in 1 M KOH and 1.48 V in simulated seawater environment. Compared with pure Co 2 P/NiCoP, the catalytic activity of (Mn)CoP 2 /NiCoP-2 is higher. This can be attributed to the doping of manganese, which reduces the oxygen content and particle size of the catalyst, and also optimizes its electronic structure.

The depolymerization of waste polyethylene terephthalate (PET) has predominantly focused on zinc-based catalysts, benefiting from their stable Lewis acidity derived from unique 3d orbital electronic configurations. In contrast, manganese-based catalytic materials, which share similar electronic structural features, have rarely been explored. This study developed a synergistic catalytic system using commercially available, low-cost homogeneous MnCl₂·4H₂O and heterogeneous Mn₂O₃ for the methanolysis of PET which achieved complete PET conversion within 1 hour at 180°C with a dimethyl terephthalate (DMT) yield of 95.35%. Compared with other catalytic systems for PET depolymerization, the present system uniquely integrates the capability of homogeneous Mn²⁺ ions to rapidly activate methanol and swell PET with the structural stability and ease of recovery inherent to the heterogeneous Mn₂O₃ oxide. Through systematic in-situ and ex-situ characterizations (XRD, XPS, in-situ DRIFTS, etc.), it was revealed that the essence of the synergistic effect originates from a dynamic composite active center formed at the interface between Mn²⁺ and Mn₂O₃, which efficiently stabilizes key reaction intermediates and promotes product desorption. Aspen Plus process simulation and economic analysis further validate its industrial potential: although the synergistic system introduces an additional step for homogeneous catalyst recovery, its superior product yield and lower activation energy grant it significant economic advantages and industrial potential. In summary, this work establishes a novel homo-heterogeneous catalytic system, offering a strategic approach to develop efficient and scalable solutions for polyester degradation.

NaBiO 3 is a low-cost photocatalyst with good performance for organic removal. Oxygen vacancies (OVs) play crucial roles in mediating oxygen activation and electron-hole separation during visible light-driven photocatalysis. In this study, Mn ions were doped into the commercial NaBiO 3 by a facile in-situ technique to construct OVs for enhancing sulfamethazine (SMT) removal. By doping 0.001–0.01 mmol of Mn 2 + ions, abundant OVs were formed on the initial NaBiO 3 surface, endowing the as-prepared BiMn x composites (e.g. BiMn 0.001 ) with a fast kinetic (first-order rate constant k 0.68 h −1 ) and a high efficiency (>99 % within 6 h) for SMT degradation. Excellent removal of SMT could be attained across a broad pH range (i.e. pH 0 5–9) using BiMn 0.001 as the photocatalyst, which could harvest full-spectrum LED white light and showed anti-interference to common water co-existent constituents. Increasing solution temperature was also beneficial for SMT removal. Reactive species including 1 O 2 , holes and electrons played dominant roles for SMT removal. Based on HPLC-MS, the degradation intermediates were identified, and a degradation pathway for SMT was formulated in the BiMn x /LED system. The results may shed some light for constructing OVs on catalyst surfaces and preparing LED visible light-responsive photocatalysts for antibiotic removal.

Magneto-optical coupling provides a powerful alternative to crystal field engineering for modulating Mn 2+ luminescence. However, precise control over Mn–Mn coupling is hindered by the complex spin-electron super-exchange interactions. Herein, we report a symmetry-broken Mn(II) chloride dimer, (C 10 H 20 O 5 Mn)(CH 3 CN)MnCl 4 , synthesized through a crown-ether-assisted supramolecular strategy. The dimer features a 7-coordinated pentagonal bipyramid and a 4-coordinated tetrahedron linked by a distorted Mn–Cl–Mn bridge (129°), which promotes rare spin-canted Mn–Mn coupling and creates a novel Mn–Mn luminescent center. This center exhibits a red emission at 638 nm with an unusually short lifetime of 0.42 ms, which is attributed to the relaxation of spin-forbidden d – d transitions. Notably, the emission undergoes a 30 nm blue-shift upon heating (5–305 K) due to the thermal suppression of spin-canting, and a 40 nm blue-shift under applied pressure (0–20 MPa) resulting from reduced orbital overlap. This dual-responsive luminescence originates from spin-canted weak ferromagnetism, which induces a rearrangement of energy-levels by separating antibonding orbitals. Using this effect, we have demonstrated an optical manometer for real-time underwater depth sensing. These findings highlight spin-canted Mn(II) dimers as a promising platform for stimuli-responsive luminescence and reveal a new mechanism for d–d transition modulation.

Alkaline zinc–manganese batteries are the most used disposable batteries in the world and cannot be recharged. Spent alkaline zinc–manganese batteries are mainly disposed of in landfills, and the resulting enrichment of the soil with potassium(K), zinc(Zn), and manganese(Mn) pollutes the groundwater and wastes valuable resources. Herein, a process for the treatment of used alkaline zinc(Zn)–manganese(Mn) batteries that involved water leaching, calcination, and vacuum aluminothermic reduction was developed. Investigation of the elemental migration process and reaction mechanism showed that the purity of potassium carbonate(K 2 CO 3 ) reached 99 % with 92.1 % recovery at a water leaching temperature of 60 °C and time of 25 min. The leaching slag was calcined at 700 °C for 1 h to obtain calcined slag with zinc oxide (ZnO), manganese(III) oxide (Mn 2 O 3 ), and manganese(II) oxide (MnO) as the main phases. When the calcined slag was reduced with aluminum powder, the recovery rate of Zn reached 99.7 % at a reduction temperature of 1100 °C, reduction time of 2 h, and ratio of aluminum powder to calcined slag of 1.5:1. Under these conditions, Mn was recovered in the form of Al 6 Mn alloy, and the main phase of the remaining reduced slag was alumina. In this study, potassium and metallic zinc were separated and recovered, and at the same time, an aluminum(Al)–manganese(Mn) alloy was prepared. The developed environmentally friendly and emission-free process enables the efficient recycling of the valuable resources K, Zn, and Mn, resulting in cleaner battery disposal.

Strong Mn─Mn coupling interactions, including dipolar and exchange interactions, significantly affect the photoluminescence quantum yields (PLQYs) in Mn 2+ -based luminescent materials. However, clarifying the individual effects of dipole–dipole and exchange interactions on photoluminescence (PL) is challenging because these interactions may have similar effects on PL properties, and there is a lack of materials with precisely tunable Mn─Mn distances over a wide range. In this study, the influence of dipolar and exchange coupling on PLQY is quantitatively decoupled by designing a series of hybrid manganese chlorides single crystals with a wide tuning range of Mn─Mn distances, from 6.0 to 9.5 Å. It is found that the PLQY can be enhanced from 2.1% to 57.1%, and the PL lifetime increased from 0.21 to 3.81 ms as the Mn─Mn distance increased. This enhancement is solely attributed to the decreased energy transfer dominated by dipole–dipole interactions. At the shortest Mn─Mn distance of 6 Å, exchange coupling becomes dominant, resulting in an additional red-side PL band with negligible effects on PLQY and lifetime. This work provides valuable insights into the mechanisms underlying the regulation of PLQY in Mn 2 ⁺-based luminescent materials.
