MnO2 surface

I dont try to make MnO2 surface hydrophilic yet.

Generally, when we synthsize MnO2 in ITO surface, I though it gonna be a hydrophobic surface.

So Is there anyone to help to change the surface of MnO2 to hydrophilic? Also, If u know the treament, PLZ explain me how does it work.

I think that just wash acetone and then EtOH or UV method.
How abour this???

Maybe try electrodeposited Delta MnO2 from MnCl2 .

It is amorphous and may be more wettable .

The MnO2 gotten from oxidative soak method may also
be hydrophilic .

These might be able to go on top of whatever you have
to change the surface properties .

Thx ur answer this question.

I just wondering, is that method happened MnO2 surface homogenous hydrophilic?

I think that MnO2 synthsized method could be occured surface hetero especially, phobic and philic mixed.
