... This indicated that these peaks in H 2 -TPR profiles should be assigned to the reduction of high valence manganese to Mn 2+ , mainly proceeding along the reduction process of Mn 4+ → Mn 3+ → Mn 2+ , 47 i.e., the multimodal reduction process of MnO 2 → Mn 2 O 3 → Mn 3 O 4 → MnO. 50 Commonly, the peaks below ∼300°C were assigned to the reduction from Mn 4+ species to Mn 3+ , and the peaks above 300°C were assigned to the reduction from Mn 3+ species in different compound forms to Mn 2+ species. The amount of H 2 consumption increased in the order of MnO 2 -IV < MnO 2 -I < MnO 2 -III < MnO 2 -II, in contrast to their deO 3 activity sequence, and the sample that consumed less H 2 generally exhibited a better deO 3 performance. ...
