Abstract

A thin film of mixed manganese and vanadium oxides was formed on a platinum electrode by electro-oxidation of Mn2+ precursors in aqueous solution with VO3. X-ray analysis revealed that the film consists of an amorphous phase including trivalent and tetravalent Mn ions. The infrared spectrum exhibited the bands attributable to V2O5, suggesting that protonation and dehydration of VO3 occur to form the polymeric structure. The mixed oxide film showed no electron spin resonance signal in an as-deposited state. After the film-coated electrode was immersed into water and then dehydrated, however, a characteristic signal (g = 2.022) of Mn2+ in the solid phase appeared, accompanying a decrease in the vanadium content. This suggests that Mn3+ ions not in the oxide network, but pairing with unreacted VO3, are disproportionated to MnO and MnO2 by the reaction with water, while the VO3 is diffused to keep the charge valance of the film.
