Abstract

Two Bax CsyMnzTi8-zO16 hollandite samples, containing excess rutile, have been prepared, targeting the Mn valence as 3+ by sintering at 1300oC in air (z = 2x +y) and as 2+ (z = x + y/2) in argon. SEM showed the sample sintered in air to contain major hollandite and minor Mn titanate and rutile. The sample sintered in argon contain major hollandite, and minor Ba titanate and rutile. X-ray absorption near edge spectroscopy (XANES), electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) were used to determine the oxidation state of the Mn in the samples. Transmission manganese K-edge X-ray absorption spectra of the samples were similar but the precise ratio of oxidation states could not be calculated from these spectra.
